Amazon loses French court appeal on nonessentials; NYT sniffs about outsize union power Archived Message Posted by walter on April 25, 2020, 11:10 am "...Under the ruling, Amazon can deliver only health items, food, pet food and electronics until it carries out a risk evaluation of its sites with French unions, which have clashed with Amazon for refusing to engage with them on health protocols to protect employees from the threat of the virus at Amazon’s warehouses." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/business/amazon-france-unions-coronavirus.html The NYT doesn't do irony, apparently (my emphasis): "The decision Friday raises the stakes for Amazon in France, where unions wield outsize power and have been leveraging the coronavirus crisis to press companies on employee rights. Amazon also faces mounting scrutiny in the United States over the effectiveness of safety measures it has used to protect employees from the coronavirus while trying to meet a huge demand for orders." At least they didn't think to complain about French exceptionalism Message Thread: Amazon loses French court appeal on nonessentials; NYT sniffs about outsize union power - walter April 25, 2020, 11:10 am Re: Amazon loses French court appeal on nonessentials; NYT sniffs about outsize union power - Mary April 25, 2020, 12:26 pm Re: Amazon loses French court appeal on nonessentials; NYT sniffs about outsize union power - walter April 25, 2020, 3:18 pm   Searching
