  • Versailles Court of Appeal upholds ruling that restricts Amazon deliveries during COVID-19.
  • Amazon employs 10K workers at its six warehouses in France that are currently shutdown.
  • The online retailer installed thermo cameras to screen its U.S warehouse workers for COVID-19.

Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently closed its six warehouses in France after a dispute with workers that accused the U.S online retailer of inadequate safety measures to protect its employees from the Coronavirus. Taking notice of the workers’ protest, a French court ordered Amazon earlier this month to confine its deliveries to essential items only. The e-commerce giant appealed against the court’s order at the start of this week.
