Amazon isn't prohibited to ship "non-essential" items there. But they are forced to do it while adequately protecting their workers.


Are you sure? The article is pretty explicit about them being banned from shipping "non-essential" goods there. It says they're ordered to do that AND protect their workers.


French news is pretty clear on that.

> stop the delivery of non-essential products until is put in place an evaluation of the risks and measures necessary to protect the employees health

> order the online shop to limit itself to sell "essential products" (food, hygiene or medical) as long as the sanitary risks of the activity in the warehouse haven't been evaluated

Edit: better source

>But the American e-commerce giant was condemned to "restrict the activities of [its] warehouses to receiving goods, preparing and shipping orders for food, hygiene and medical products", "until the company has carried out, with the participation of employee representatives, an assessment of the occupational risks inherent in the Covid-19 epidemic in all of its distribution centres and the resulting measures".
