They don't give up. Since Monday, delivery drivers of an Amazon service provider have been blocking the warehouse of the American e-commerce giant located in Briec, Finistère. Angry, the protesters demanded payment of their salaries. When questioned, a driver working for the company NGS Express, based in Seine-Saint-Denis, said he had received no salary in March and had not been paid "several weeks" since the end of October. According to this protester, only the packages are blocked. Amazon employees and empty trucks can get in and out. If you were ever waiting for a package in your mailbox, you may have to wait.
Without news of their boss since mid-March, the 37 employees of NGS Express continued to work for Amazon until the end of March. They decided to block the site when they learned that they would no longer have access to the warehouse from April 23. A spokeswoman said Amazon had notified in early March the end of the contract with NGS Express for "non-compliance with contractual obligations". "We are adamant that our delivery partners must abide by the Amazon Supplier Code of Conduct and our contractual obligations," she said.
Me Franck Carpentier, lawyer of the employees, indicated that a report had been sent to the labor inspectorate and that he would urgently seize the commercial court of Bobigny and the labor court of Quimper "to try to obtain the payment of the sums" due. The Briec site, near Quimper, is Amazon's only warehouse in Brittany. Opened at the end of October 2022, it covers 6,000 m2, according to the group.
