Does this apply to Amazon operations in the EU and UK as well. I could imagine that it might be possible to fight such an edict under UK employment law. I'm pretty sure that they would not be able to do it quite so easily here in Norway.

We have stronger worker entitlements here in Europe but WFH is often just a positive remnant from the COVID era and not something specified in our contracts. For example I work fewer hours and from home on Fridays but nowhere in my contract does it say I'm allowed to do that.
If you are a salaried employee in Norway you are paid for the results not for where you work. You are expected to work about 37.5 hours a week. Almost everyone I worked with worked very flexible hours. I read somewhere that 100 000 people in Norway work only Monday to Friday (in a population of 5 million), it's not in their contract either, just in employment law.
