According to the leaks, senior European Union officials decided that people who lobby for Amazon should not step into the parliament again. Officials claimed that the company had no intention of collaborating with them and stated that they did not want to waste any more time with an entity that was just trying to get around the law.
Amazon, which has been targeted by the European Union especially due to the poor working conditions of its staff, has been lobbying intensively for the past 10 years in order to influence the union managers. Here are all the details…
Amazon continues to have problems with the European Union
It is said that Amazon, which claims that its facilities in Europe are in a poor human condition and does not allow its employees to unionize, has spent 18.8 million euros so far for these lobbying efforts.
The fact that the company, which is said to not respect the basic employee rights provided by European countries, will no longer be able to lobby may indicate that red alarm bells are ringing. Because if the EU takes an adverse decision regarding employee rights, the company will be sentenced to a very heavy penalty.
Amazon, in its official statement on the subject, said that they were very sorry for this decision. Company managers, who state that they have been operating officially in Europe for 25 years, claim that they employ more than 150 thousand people and that they do not deserve such treatment. It seems that Amazon, which has recently been revealed to have laid off many of its employees, will have more headaches in the coming days.
