On Tuesday, Amazon confirmed that it is considering closing three warehouses in the UK. These closures are separate from layoffs that were announced last week. If these closure occur, it would affect over a thousand workers. However, Amazon has stated it will offer impacted workers alternate roles at other locations, and the company has plans to open two new fulfillment centers within the next few years.
