Amazon.com will invest in three new logistics centers in Poland, creating 6,000 new jobs over the next two years as part of expansion in Europe, a spokesman said on Monday.<\/p>\n

German media had speculated that the new sites – in Wroclaw and Poznan – would result in closures elsewhere, especially after Amazon was hit by strikes in Germany over pay and conditions and unions this weekend warned more strikes could come ahead of Christmas.<\/p>\n

The Amazon spokesman said on Monday there were no plans to shut existing logistics centers in Europe and that Amazon was about to open a new site outside Berlin that would create 1,000 permanent jobs.<\/p>\n

“Amazon is always looking at options to expand capacity,” he said.<\/p>\n
