# Trade union Solidarity has filed a complaint with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Washington, DC, against Amazon Web Services over a business development programme that requires applicants to be 100-percent black-owned. Solidarity’s Dirk Hermann says the requirement unfairly excludes businesses with any white ownership and goes beyond what South African law requires. Hermann is seeking mediation and wants Amazon to remove the race-based eligibility requirement.
