EU parliamentarians doubt Amazon's statements on working conditions

Amazon representatives have returned to the EU Parliament for the first hearing since the escalated dispute. The session highlights the ongoing incompatibilities between the company, unions, and politics. Parliamentarians express doubts about the corporation's statements on working conditions.

The hearing in the EU Parliament marks the first appearance of top representatives from the US corporation Amazon since the escalated dispute over working conditions. Reports indicate that the session clearly shows how incompatible the positions of the company, unions, and politics remain.

Amazon has returned to the Brussels institution to address the allegations. However, EU parliamentarians doubt the corporation's claims regarding employee conditions in warehouses and logistics centers. The conflict has been escalating for months and concerns issues such as wages, working hours, and safety standards.

Unions demand stricter regulations, while Amazon emphasizes providing fair conditions. Politics seeks a balance but remains skeptical of the company's statements. This hearing could pave the way for further investigations.
