PARIS: Amazon's French warehouses are set to reopen on Tuesday with about 30per cent of employees, three union officials said, ending a month-long dispute over whether the e-commerce giant was doing enough to protect workers from the coronavirus pandemic.
During a first phase, starting on Tuesday and ending next Monday, a maximum of 50per cent of staff will be allowed to work, on a voluntary basis. As of Monday afternoon, about 30per cent of workers had volunteered to resume work on Tuesday, the three union officials said. Amazon also agreed to reduce the working day by 15 minutes. That will create a delay of about 30 minutes between the morning and night shifts, reducing numbers in changing rooms and at entrance gates.
The court had ruled Amazon should restrict deliveries to IT products, health items, food and pet food while the company reviewed its coronavirus-related health policies.
