How are the conditions through Europe? I know they went on strike or were about to in Spain, any news from other countries?

Germany did as well. I wish Bezos the best of luck if he thinks the EU unions are as easy to beat as the American ones.

That’s why Amazon already operates a handful, and opening new warehouses in Poland. Amazon doesn’t even sell in Poland, everything sorted and packed in Poland is shipped back to Germany. Beating EU unions is very easy, you simply move to the next town over the border.
