Amazon changes employee policies for time off, marijuana
CNN
Amazon announced Tuesday it supports the federal legalization of marijuana, and that the company is revising a controversial workplace policy critics say has been used to keep employees working at a breakneck pace.
The twin announcements, Amazon said, are aimed at reiterating the company's commitment to being an attractive employer. In a blog post, Dave Clark, CEO of Amazon's worldwide consumer division, said changing state laws on marijuana mean Amazon (AMZN) will no longer include the substance in the company's pre-employment drug tests and that the drug will now be treated the same as alcohol.More Related News
