Amazon eyes CEE move amid German labour disputes | beyondbrics

Amazon eyes CEE move amid German labour disputes | beyondbrics:

"
Online merchant Amazon is contemplating building a new network of logistics centres in central Europe after being hit with strikes at its German warehouses, according to the Polish press.

Amazon is looking at three locations in Poland and two in the Czech Republic, according to the Puls Biznesu paper. Officials in Poznan, in western Poland, and in Wroclaw, in the south-west of the country, confirmed to the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper that there were plans to build logistics centres near their cities.

Amazon’s German workers have held strikes and demonstrations demanding the same level of pay as at other mail order retailers. Amazon depends on razor-thin margins to stay in business, and that US model does not sit well with unionised European workforces."
