Unions and lawmakers called for more measures on top of Amazon’s access restriction to the European Parliament after the US tech giant failed to deliver a senior manager before the Parliament’s Employment and Social Affairs Committee (EMPL) committee for a grilling on workers’ conditions on Thursday.
The Parliament has made the hearing a precondition for Amazon regaining access to its premises, after the tech giant's access badges were withdrawn in February last year because the company failed to attend a series of hearings and factory visits in 2021 and 2023 related to workers’ rights.
