Amazon: Companies complain about being banned from paid reviews

Amazon

Several companies from China have targeted Amazon with a class action lawsuit. Accordingly, the shipping giant should hold back the company's revenue. All of the sellers who are part of the lawsuit were banned by Amazon last year after violating the platform's guidelines for paying reviews. Amazon has banned the further sale of products over 600 brands distributed over 3,000 accounts from China.

The plaintiffs classify the withholding of revenues as illegal behavior. Apparently it is partly about sums of more than 100,000 US dollars. The "Service Business Solution" contract, which all companies must agree to if they want to sell their goods to customers via Amazon, stipulates that it is at the discretion of the shipping giant how long they withhold income from the seller - in the event of a breach against the guidelines. The companies in the class action lawsuit already have a counter-argument ready for this.

Because Amazon is responsible for distributing the sellers, those responsible should have recognized that the Chinese providers would thank their customers with gift cards if they received one give a positive rating. Companies in the class action lawsuit include Sopownic, Slaouwo, Deyixun, Cstech, Recoo Direct, Angelbliss, and Tudi. Since 2016, Amazon has had stricter rules when it comes to encouraging customers to leave a positive review.

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is settling with two former tech workers who accused the retail giant of illegally firing them last year for speaking out against the company.


CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC.


The former employees, Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, publicly criticized the company and pushed Amazon to better protect warehouse workers from COVID-19. They also wanted Amazon to do more to reduce its impact on climate change.


Cunningham and Costa said the settlement means Amazon will have to pay them lost wages wages and put up notices saying the company can't fire workers for organizing and exercising their rights.


“This is a win for protecting workers rights, and shows that we were right to stand up for each other, for justice, and for our world,' Cunningham and Costa said in a statement.


In settling, Amazon also avoids a potentially lengthy hearing before the National Labor Relations Board. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday morning.


The former employees, who were user-experience designers at Amazon in Seattle, were the two most prominent voices among a group of workers who wanted the company to take more steps to combat climate change and stop doing business with oil and gas companies. They held protests and spoke to the media about their concerns.


Last year, as COVID-19 spread in the U.S., Cunningham and Costa planned a call between Amazon warehouse and office workers to talk about unsafe conditions in the online shopping giant’s warehouses, where people worked throughout the pandemic to pack and ship online orders. Before the call could happen, Amazon fired both women.


At the time Amazon said it fired them for violating internal policies, not because they talked publicly about working conditions or sustainability.


Shortly after, an Amazon executive quit in protest, saying he couldn’t stand by as whistleblowers were silenced.
