Amazon plans to lay off 370 employees in Luxembourg, approximately 8.5% of its local workforce, as part of its global reduction of 14,000 jobs announced this year. These layoffs are significant, marking the largest in Luxembourg in over two decades. Following discussions, Amazon decreased its cuts from 470 to 370, with affected employees expected to be informed in February. Unions criticize this move, arguing it disrupts the local labor dialogue while also raising concerns for impacted foreign workers’ job security.
