Overview
- Two weeks of EU-required consultations with employee representatives produced a signed social plan that lowered the planned reductions from 470 to 370.
- The cuts equal about 8.5% of Amazon’s roughly 4,370 staff in Luxembourg, the largest round of job losses in the country in more than 20 years.
- Employee delegates say most affected workers are expected to receive formal notice in February 2026.
- Software developers are expected to be hit hardest as the company increases reliance on AI tools for coding tasks.
- Many foreign employees typically have about three months to find new jobs to remain in Luxembourg, and trade unions have criticized the decision as Amazon shifts resources toward AI.
