MILAN (Reuters) – Amazon does not plan to cut any jobs in Italy despite a drop in volumes last year, trade unions said on Tuesday after a video meeting with a company representative.

Amazon.com Inc said earlier this month it planned to cut over 18,000 jobs globally and later disclosed it would shut three warehouses in Britain, sparking concerns there could be workforce reductions in other European countries.

Italian trade unions FIT-CISL, Filt-CGIL and UIL Trasporti said in separate statements that during the meeting, called in response to news reports, an Amazon Italy manager said there was no reason for Italian workers to worry.

The manager added that there would likely be cuts in the [workforce in Britain](https://www.financedigest.com/influence-of-the-rise-of-machinery-on-britains-workforce.html "INFLUENCE OF THE RISE OF MACHINERY ON BRITAIN’S WORKFORCE") and Spain, according to FIT-CISL.

Amazon [Italy declined to comment on the meeting but said the company](https://www.financedigest.com/italys-windfall-tax-on-energy-companies-needs-to-be-rewritten-pm.html "Italy’s windfall tax on energy companies needs to be rewritten – PM") stood by the comments made by Chief Executive Andy Jassy on Jan. 5 about its plans to [cut over 18,000 jobs](https://www.financedigest.com/icrc-to-cut-some-1500-jobs-as-humanitarian-budgets-seen-sliding.html "ICRC to cut some 1,500 jobs as humanitarian budgets seen sliding").
