Seattle: In Germany, unions are pushing Amazon.com Inc to prevent warehouse workers from congregating like bunches of “grapes” before their shifts.
In Italy, where a Covid-19 outbreak hit Amazon’s main logistics depot, unions staged an 11-day strike that ended after the company granted employees an additional five-minute break to practice better personal hygiene.
And in what amounts to the most significant pushback yet, a French appeals court on April 24 upheld an earlier ruling ordering Amazon to sell only essential products in the country to protect the safety of warehouse workers.
