10:42 AM EST, 02/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Confederation of National Trade Unions said Tuesday it is bringing legal action against Amazon.com ( AMZN ) in response to the company's decision to shut seven warehouses and lay off 1,700 workers.

"In light of the anti-union agenda behind Amazon's ( AMZN ) ruthless actions, the CSN will petition the court to annul the mass layoff and order the reopening of the seven warehouses, the reinstatement of the 1,700 Amazon ( AMZN ) employees, and the payment of compensation and damages," the trade union federation said in a statement.

Amazon ( AMZN ) didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
