🇮🇹 Italy’s data protection authority has ordered Amazon to stop using the personal data of 1,800+ warehouse workers near Rome.
Why did Amazon collected information on workers' union activity, medical conditions, Family crises?

The German government’s passing of the Bundestarifstreuegesetz sends a clear message to the @ec.europa.eu: strengthen collective bargaining through public contracts.
Does anyone see irony in a chatbot measuring human friendliness?
Constant AI surveillance of forced “happiness” fuels stress and burnout.
Call centre workers have lived this. Their experience is proof that tech at work needs union bargaining.

Amazon tried to bust a union. Workers made them pay.
Since workers started organizing with Unifor, Amazon has delayed, intimidated and discriminated. Workers just won a massive back pay lawsuit, and we're in solidarity as fight for a contract.

"At the end of the day, Amazon broke the law again, got caught red-handed, has to pay over a million dollars."

We aren't talking enough about the impact of smart glasses on workers. In shops, in care facilities, in banks and beyond, workers are being filmed against their will - and knowledge.
This invasion of privacy opens the door to additional harassment online.

“Blocking unions from meeting workers is a deliberate act of exclusion and part of a wider attack on union rights and basic freedoms. You cannot decide the future of Palestine, of the West Bank, Gaza, or Jerusalem, while silencing the workers who will rebuild it.”

After months of stalling from Apple, the CAC have imposed access arrangements to allow UTAW-CWU officials to meet with staff at the Cambridge Apple Retail Store ahead of their upcoming ballot for union recognition. Inititally Apple had refused reasonable access to the building for union reps, while continuing to use regular staff meetings and one-on-ones with staff to try and discourage them from supporting their union. Apple are now required to give UTAW-CWU officials access to the store for two staff meetings, two days of drop-in surgeries, use of a noticeboard, space for leaflets, use of internal email to share ballot information, and the ability to post materials to staff ahead of the ballot. The ballot will now proceed during a 20-day period starting February. utaw.tech/apple UTAW and CWU logos.
Breaking: Apple required to proceed with recognition ballot after months of attempting to block and union-busting activities.

Amazon pushes workers to the brink and busts their unions.
It has lined up behind Trumpism and its attack on Europe’s data protections.
And for the last five years, it has evaded any democratic scrutiny.
But yesterday, Amazon faced workers, trade unions and MEPs in the European Parliament.
🇪🇺"MEPs from across the political spectrum voiced sharp criticism of Amazon’s labour practices, questioning the company’s commitment to collective bargaining, labour rights and democratic institutions in Europe." #MakeAmazonPay
Amazon laid off 16,000 workers — while facing MEPs over unsafe warehouses, surveillance and union-busting. Democracy isn’t a Zoom call from Seattle. If Amazon wants to operate in Europe, it must respect workers and unions. #MakeAmazonPay
A young Indian tech worker died under crushing work pressure. This isn’t an isolated tragedy.
Workers are breaking under the burden of deadlines. Too often, fear of job loss and blacklisting keeps them silent.
