A confederation of trade unions from 11 EU countries have called on Europe’s data protection watchdogs to investigate Amazon’s surveillance practices.

“Amazon’s relentless surveillance is not just about monitoring; it’s about control and intimidation,” said Christy Hoffman, general secretary of UNI Global Union, one of the groups behind the letter.

“Such draconian measures strip our workers of their dignity and rights under the guise of increased productivity. We demand immediate change and accountability,” she added.
