Dozens of workers were fired during 2022 (and some actions are still taking place now, at the beginning of 2023) from the Amazon factory in Torrazza Piemonte: the company charges a series of inflated expenses while traveling to other centers at the same time for the purpose of training their colleagues. Among these will be starred dinners (including one at Carlo Craco’s restaurant in Milan), designer bags, purchases in football club shops (especially those of Atalanta, in Bergamo), tire changes and fuel filling despite the fact that special vouchers already exist paid for them.
“The decision to terminate the employment contract – confirmed by Amazon, and interviewed by TorinoToday – was made following verification of serious breaches of ethics and a consequent loss of the employer-employee bond. We were aware of the travel costs policy and provided evidence that costs related to travel and meals And the accommodation will be paid directly by Amazon.” Some workers, aided by unions, objected to the dismissal, arguing that the costs incurred were legitimate.
