Leaked reports suggest that senior European Union officials have decided not to allow individuals lobbying for Amazon to set foot in parliament anymore. Officials claimed that the company has no intention of cooperating with them and they do not want to waste any more time with an organization that only tries to circumvent the laws.
Especially targeted by the European Union for its poor working conditions and alleged prevention of unionization among its employees, Amazon has been actively lobbying for the past decade to influence EU officials. Here are all the details…
Amazon Continues to Face Issues with the European Union
It is rumored that Amazon has spent a total of 18.8 million euros on these lobbying efforts. This move to prevent Amazon from lobbying any further might indicate that the red alarm bells are ringing. If the EU were to make a decision against the company regarding workers’ rights, it could face hefty penalties.
In its official statement regarding the matter, Amazon expressed deep regret for the decision. The company’s executives stated that they have been officially operating in Europe for 25 years, providing jobs for over 150,000 people, and they do not deserve such treatment. With recent reports of layoffs within the company, Amazon seems to be facing more challenges in the future.
