FTFA: "The move comes after Amazon’s repeated refusal to attend hearings in the European Parliament on working conditions in Amazon warehouses."

Those hearings are only a show: Let's hit Amazon for our own political agrandisement.

At one point Amazin is right to tell them to do one. If laws have been broken then that's the job of courts and employment tribunals.

No one watch EU auditions. At most I'll read a short resume. It also is way more impersonal than French senate's audition with clear rules to limit spectacular actions/speech from auditors.

So they didn’t show up and their punishment is not being allowed to show up?

They shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose what to show up for. If they don’t want to attend hearings, then they shouldn’t get to lobby (meet with) MEPs.
