Recently, the Catalan Labor Supervision Bureau launched a sanctions procedure to impose a fine of 3.2 million euros on Amazon Spain Branch and imposed a total of 2.6 million euros in 17 labor companies on the grounds that illegal labor dispatch was used. Amazon responded that it would appeal to the sanctions.
It is reported that the Catalonian Labor Supervision Bureau has conducted investigations on Amazon since February last year, and found that at least 599 people had conducted delivery work without guarantee. There were no legal representatives, no stable wages and security guarantees.
Not long ago, more than 700 warehouse workers at Amazon British Station launched a major strike on wage disputes. The inflation of British inflation is intensified, and British residents are facing the crisis of living costs, and workers are increasingly dissatisfied with wages and working conditions. Amazon has proposed a salary increase of 35 times (about 3 yuan), which ignites the workers’s people’s anger.
In April this year, the employees of the Amazon US station Staten Island JFK8 Logistics Center established the first Amazon American local union: Amazon Labor Union (ALU). The union chairman Smalls said that facing the exploitation of the management, all our workers can do is united.
Amazon has a successive problem of labor exploitation, which is a huge blow to its founder Jeff Bezos and Amazon’s own brand image. Amazon obviously needs to do more.
