PRODUCTION – 07 September 2023, Saxony-Anhalt, Sülzetal: A forklift truck drives through high shelves in which goods are stored at the Amazon logistics center in Sülzetal. Amazon is specifically recruiting members of the German armed forces. For some time now, the mail order company has been explicitly advertising its “Military Recruitment Program” to attract military personnel as employees. In times of a shortage of skilled workers, this is a field that is apparently becoming increasingly interesting for other companies as well.
