The $5.9 million in penalties, which were issued last month, stem from demands that the behemoth e-commerce company placed on thousands of workers at two of its Inland Empire fulfillment centers.

Kianna Writes

Maryland is feeling the pinch this year as layoffs surge across the state, affecting thousands of workers. Recent data from the state's Department of Labor, along with WARN reports, paint a stark picture of the job market. For those unfamiliar, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires businesses with over 100 full-time employees to give a 60-day heads-up before laying off 50 or more staff at a single site. And, it seems quite a few companies are hitting that threshold.
