‘Like you’re in prison' | Amazon workers file charges claiming surveillance violates labor laws - when will employers learn the long-term cost of excessive monitoring?

Amazon workers at a warehouse in St Louis, Missouri, have filed an unfair labor practice charge against their employer for surveillance which they allege is excessive and intrusive.

The charge, filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), claims that Amazon has “maintained intrusive algorithms and other workplace controls and surveillance which interfere with Section 7 rights of employees to engage in protected concerted activity.”
