Global Trade Union Pushes Europe to Broaden Amazon Antitrust Probe

A global trade union for the services sector urged European authorities to widen their antitrust investigation of Amazon.com Inc.to assess if the company engaged in creating knockoff goods and rigging search results on its platform. The demand by the UNI Global Union was triggered by a Reuters report based on internal Amazon documents that showed the e-commerce company ran a systematic campaign of copying products and manipulating search results to boost its own private brands such as AmazonBasics in India, a key growth market.
