Amazon: 500 jobs cut
Amazon announced the closure of its historic Marston Gate fulfillment center in the UK, affecting 500 employees. The company is opening a new £500 million Northampton facility that will feature thousands of robotic systems and employ approximately 2,000 staff. All affected workers are being offered transfers to the new automated facility or other Amazon locations. The closure represents a shift from Amazon's first UK facility to a highly automated operation with four times the workforce.
