Amazon faces ban from EU Parliament over working conditions
Amazon has incurred a ban from the European Parliament, making it the second company ever to face such a penalty. The ban stems from Amazon's perceived lack of cooperation regarding working conditions in its fulfillment centers. Despite invitations from MEPs to discuss these issues, Amazon refused citing busy schedules during the Christmas period, leading to the ban implemented by the Parliament.
