A World Without Amazon? In France, Shoppers get a Taste

Share:

May 20, 2020

One could almost hear the celebratory whoops coming from Amazon execs in France on Tuesday when they began reopening their six warehouses in the country. The company shut them down nearly five weeks ago when labor unions successfully sued for failing to protect 10,000 workers from the novel coronavirus.

It’s not such excellent news, however, for Amazon’s competitors.

For the past month, the company’s legal wrangles in France have served as a live experiment in how the world’s consumers might change their shopping habits if Amazon—the $1.2 trillion behemoth that’s No. 2 on the Fortune 500 list—was suddenly no longer an option.
