French Court Orders Amazon to Halt Non-Essential Deliveries
A French court in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday ordered Amazon.com's (NASDAQ: AMZN) French subsidiary to restrict its deliveries to only essential goods such as food, cleaning products, and medical supplies.
The court was responding to complaints brought by trade union group Solidaires Unitaires Démocratiques (Sud), alleging Amazon "failed to recognise its obligations regarding the security and health of its workers." Simultaneously, French labor inspectors are alleging Amazon needs to improve working conditions at five of its warehouse sites, while government officials have publicly criticized the company for not giving its workers paid time off during the COVID-19 pandemic.
