Another layoff spree may rock Amazon as company looks to shut three UK warehouses

America’s e-commerce giant, Amazon, may return to laying off some of its staff members after its resolution to shut three UK warehouses.

The decision, which is likely to affect 1,200 jobs, was reached after management concluded its consultation on the eventualities.

The three UK warehouses that will be affected include Amazon’s property in Hemel Hempstead, Doncaster and Gourock, in the west of Scotland.
