Amazon accused of using AI to track union activity in UK warehouses

Original: Amazon uses AI to monitor union risk in UK warehouses

Amazon is reported to be using artificial intelligence to monitor the risk of union activity in its UK warehouses, including sites near Birmingham and Coventry. According to openDemocracy, internal systems assess workers' organising potential, prompting criticism from labour campaigners who say the practice intimidates workers and undermines their right to organise. Amazon has faced repeated scrutiny over workplace surveillance.

Why now: Reports of AI being used to identify and pre-empt union organising raise fresh concerns about worker rights and corporate surveillance.
