Amazon launches the fifth edition of Made in Italy Days: a global showcase for 5,500 Italian excellences
Milan - Amazon announces the fifth edition of Made in Italy Days : from May 13 to 19, a special promotional window will be available on the online store, featuring a wide selection of products from thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the most famous Italian brands, in collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency.
Over 5,500 Made in Italy excellences will be hostedwithin the dedicated showcase, available in Amazon's online stores in 11 countries around the world--in addition to Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Belgium, Sweden, Poland, and the Netherlands--for a total of more than 3 million products .
The Made in Italy showcase is one of the main tools that Amazon makes available to SMEs and companies in our country to support the development of their business internationally, helping to bring the value of foreign sales of Amazon's Italian sales partners to 3.5 billion euros in 2025 .
Amazon's Made in Italy Days are also recognized in 2026 by the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy among the activities related to National Made in Italy Day , which this year will place particular emphasis on initiatives related to Made in Italy skills. For this reason, Amazon has planned two additional events aimed at helping Italian entrepreneurs seize the opportunities offered by digital to promote and protect their brands, even beyond national borders. On April 28, in Rome, the event "Supporting Made in Italy in the world: SMEs, e-commerce and export policies" will be held in the Sala Salvadori of the Palazzo dei Gruppi Parlamentari, Via Uffici del Vicario, 21 ; The closing event of the "IP Education Plan" project will take place on May 19th at the Sala degli Arazzi of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy. This training program, launched by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), is a public/private partnership under the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and Amazon last April 2024.
As part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation's Export Pact, which identifies e-commerce as one of the key tools for business internationalization, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) confirms its commitment to supporting Italian SMEs by renewing its collaboration with Amazon for the sale of Made in Italy products on marketplaces in France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, and the United States. The fifth edition of the ITA-Amazon agreement includes enhanced promotional activities through marketing packages on online storefronts, a support service for Italian selling companies, and the activation of strategic consulting programs for both new and existing sellers on the platform. In a world where, with the most advanced e-commerce, it is already possible to receive a package within 15 minutes of requesting it--with a record of just 6 minutes set in the United Arab Emirates--the development of e-commerce will become increasingly central to consumer habits. Consumers will benefit from the speed and variety of choice, to the advantage of businesses that are better able to utilize this increasingly competitive tool. more powerful. Today also as a solution for companies that want to continue to reach critical areas of the Middle East where streamlining commercial phases becomes an essential condition ," declared Matteo Zoppas, President of the ICE Agency .
"For five years now, Made in Italy Days have been a significant opportunity to celebrate and promote our country's excellence internationally. Amazon is proud to stand alongside Italian companies, supporting the promotion and internationalization of Made in Italy through concrete tools that allow our SMEs to reach millions of customers worldwide ," said Giorgio Busnelli, VP and Country Manager of Amazon Italy . "Collaboration with institutions, such as the Italian Trade Agency, is essential to creating an ecosystem conducive to growth: only by working together can we enable small and medium-sized businesses to easily sell online, overcoming the bureaucratic and technological barriers that still limit their potential. Our commitment does not stop at promotion: through training and the protection of intellectual property, we want to ensure that Italian brands can successfully compete on global markets, preserving the authenticity and quality that make Made in Italy unique."
Promotion and protection: Amazon's commitment to supporting Italian excellence
Tomorrow's event, "Supporting Made in Italy Worldwide: SMEs, E-commerce, and Export Policies ," is promoted by Alberto Gusmeroli, President of the 10th Commission for Productive Activities, and sponsored by Netcomm with the support of Amazon. It is one of the initiatives promoted by Amazon to celebrate the third National Made in Italy Day (GNMII) of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy. It was part of the fact-finding survey on the competitiveness of the Italian system, which analyzes GDP from 1992 to 2025 and growth drivers, launched by the 10th Commission.
It will also feature four representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) discussing matters with politicians and institutional representatives: Ciocca from Lombardy; Fler World from Veneto; Remo Sartori from Puglia; and Zenone Iozzino from Campania. It will be a significant opportunity to discuss the importance of digital channels for international business development and to identify the factors that still hinder the full potential of the European Single Market , starting with the need for bureaucratic simplification.
Along with promotion, brand protection is also part of Amazon's commitment to supporting Italian excellence. This is why the company has supported the ambitious training project "Intellectual Property Education Plan," promoted by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (MIMIT), the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests (MASAF), the Guardia di Finanza, and Confindustria. The project aims to offer Italian SMEs a comprehensive overview of key issues such as industrial property protection, the fight against counterfeiting, and tools for safely accessing foreign markets to support their internationalization. Since last October, eight monthly webinars have been held, focusing on key export markets--the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Brazil, and India--and the following: The final stage will be held on May 19th in Rome, at the Sala degli Arazzi of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy.
Amazon's Made in Italy showcase and collaboration with the ICE Agency
The Italian Trade Agency and Amazon have been collaborating since 2019 with the broader goal of fostering the economic growth of Italian companies and strengthening international trade relations. This partnership, which will be formalized soon with the signing of the agreement renewal, aims to promote and support companies participating in the call to sell on Amazon and its Made in Italy storefront through specific e-commerce marketing activities. The collaboration between the Italian Trade Agency and Amazon has so far involved over 2,800 Italian SMEs and made more than 650,000 new Made in Italy products available to Amazon customers internationally.
Creating value for the country
Since Amazon arrived in Italy in 2010, it has invested over Euros25 billion to build infrastructure, create jobs, and support thousands of local businesses. In 2024 alone, investments exceeded Euros4 billion. The company currently employs over 19,000 people in Italy on permanent contracts , working in over 60 facilities across the country--including logistics centers, corporate offices, data centers, and customer service. In addition, there are indirect jobs: according to Keystone estimates, in 2024, Amazon's investments in Italy are estimated to have supported over 40,000 indirect jobs and more than 10,000 induced jobs in sectors such as construction, logistics, and other professional services. Thousands of small and medium-sized Italian businesses have relied on Amazon to sell online. For them, the company is committed every day to creating new tools and services to help them reap the full benefits of the digital channel. Among these is Accelerate with Amazon , the free training program launched in 2020 in collaboration with institutional partners and companies, designed to provide the tools and skills needed to start a new online business, or to strengthen an existing one.

Clark Hill Wins Precedential OCAHO Dismissal, Shaping the Limits of Federal Immigration Enforcement
Clark Hill's Immigration team, led by Thomas K. Ragland and Ana Sami, secured a decisive victory for Adibahon Jurayeva in a precedential decision issued by the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO), resulting in the dismissal with prejudice of the government's enforcement action.
In United States v. Jurayeva, 22 OCAHO No. 1684a (2026), the Department of HomelandSecurity alleged that the respondent violated federal immigration law by submitting a naturalization application in 2018 with knowledge or reckless disregard of its alleged falsity. Clark Hill moved to dismiss the complaint on statute-of-limitations grounds-an argument the Administrative Law Judge squarely adopted.
Ragland and Sami advanced the argument that the government's enforcement action was barred by the statute of limitations because the alleged misconduct constituted a discrete, non-continuing act that accrued at the time the naturalization application was filed, and because an enforcement "action" under 28 U.S.C. SS 2462 is commenced only when a complaint is filed with OCAHO. The Administrative Law Judge expressly agreed with this position, rejecting the government's continuing-violation and delayed-accrual theories, and holding that issuance of a Notice of Intent to Fine does not toll the statute of limitations. As a result, the court dismissed the complaint with prejudice.
The decision followed amicus briefing that was invited by the Administrative Law Judge and provides authoritative guidance on when immigration-related document fraud claims accrue and when enforcement actions must be initiated. The ruling significantly constrains delayed federal enforcement efforts and reinforces core statute-of-limitations principles in immigration proceedings.

By Shannon Meade, Jim Paretti, Alex MacDonald, and Maury Baskin
DOL Announces Proposed Rule on Joint Employment
On April 22, the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking(NPRM) on joint employer status under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA). The NPRM proposes separate analyses to assess horizontal and vertical joint employment scenarios given the inherent differences between those business relationships. Additionally, the proposal advises that a potential joint employer's "actual exercise of control" is more relevant than "reserved control" for determining vertical joint employer status. It also proposes to exclude from consideration factors relevant for assessing employee status (as opposed to an independent contractor) when making a joint employment assessment. Public comments are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on June 22, 2026. Read here for the Department's Q&A. Read here for Littler's analysis.

Bipartisan "Know Your Labor Rights Act" Legislation Introduced in House and Senate
On April 21, Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Representatives Riley Moore (R-WV) and Marie Gluesenkamp (D-WA) introduced the "Know Your Labor Rights Act," which would require all employers to post and maintain notice to employees and new hires of their labor rights in the workplace. The bill is endorsed by the Teamsters and is a pillar of Senator Hawley's pro-worker framework.
Related to Senator Hawley's framework, there is a concerted effort to advance companion legislation to Hawley's "Faster Labor Contracts Act" (imposing binding interest arbitration, another key pillar of Senator Hawley's framework) in the House via a Discharge Petition filed by Representative Donald Norcross (D-NJ). The legislation, (H.R. 5408), is sponsored by Representatives Pete Stauber (R-MN) and Donald Norcross (D-NJ) and currently has 82 cosponsors - 65 Democrats, 17 Republicans. In an effort to bypass committee consideration and force a House floor vote on the legislation, Representative Norcross filed the Discharge Petition (H.Res. 1140) on April 20. As of this writing, 145 House members have signed on, with Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY) as the sole Republican signature. It is unclear at this time whether the effort will reach the required 218 signatures to advance to the House floor for a vote.

WIOA Reauthorization Approved in Committee
The House Committee on Education and Workforce approved legislation on April 21, titled "A Stronger Workforce for America Act," which would reauthorize the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA, the nation's primary workforce development law, has not been reauthorized or updated since its expiration in 2020, although it has continued to receive funding. As previously reported, the bill makes important reforms, including improvements to federal labor market reporting data; support for virtual employment services; dedicated funding for upskilling workers through individual training accounts and on-the-job learning; and metrics to strengthen accountability to hold state and local workforce boards responsible for delivering positive outcomes for workers and job seekers. However, this bill is a departure from previous bipartisan efforts in that it transfers all adult education and family literacy functions from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor, which is in alignment with the Trump administration's goals of reducing the footprint of the Department of Education. This move is not favored by the House minority. As such, it is uncertain if the bill will pass the House.

Nationwide Children's Hospital has once again been named one of "America's Best Employers for Company Culture" by Forbes.
Named to the second-annual national list of 600 companies, Nationwide Children's is ranked as the No. 1 company in Central Ohio, No. 1 hospital in Ohio and among the top 5 health care systems in the United States. The Forbes "America's Best Employers for CompanyCulture" list highlights organizations with the strongest workplace cultures as rated directly by employees.
"This recognition is only possible because of our amazing team--nearly 18,000 strong," said Tim Robinson, chief executive officer of Nationwide Children's Hospital. "For decades, our hospital has intentionally created a 'One Team' culture of collaboration and trust. And every day, our team lives that culture. They have a remarkable shared commitment to children's health, and this dedication is improving lives in our region and far beyond."
Overall, Nationwide Children's ranked 14th among the top 600 companies. America's Best Employers for Company Culture were chosen based on survey responses from more than 217,000 employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people in the U.S.
The evaluation was based on survey responses from employees who were asked to appraise their company's culture, responding to a variety of questions including whether employees were treated with fairness and respect, if they were passionate about the organization's services or products and whether they felt empowered to take initiative and develop new ideas. Additionally, survey analysts conducted research on each organization to assess culture-related best practices, including leadership team composition.
