France rejects Amazon's request for unemployment schemes at six sites

This post was originally published on this site

The e-commerce giant has shut its six French warehouses, which employ about 10,000 people on permanent and interim contracts, since April 16 after court rulings ordered it to limit deliveries to a list of essential goods during the coronavirus pandemic or face fines.

Amazon did not immediately return calls seeking comment. AFP first reported the rejection of Amazon’s request to the labour ministry.
