In cooperation between the worker’s union “UNI Global” and privacy NGO “noyb.eu”, Amazon warehouse workers from Germany, UK, Italy, Poland and Slovakia filed access requests under Article 15 GDPR today. The goal is to find out how Amazon treats workers’ personal data under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Workers are so far left in the dark about the use of their data, despite Amazon using sophisticated systems to monitor workflows and workers. Amazon has one month to respond and fully disclose their processing of workers' personal data.
Amazon Workers demand Data-Transparency
I documenti interni dei sindacati nazionali confermano che Amazon effettua alcuni controlli sui suoi lavoratori. Per esempio, è chiaro che l'azienda conduce controlli sul background dei lavoratori e monitora costantemente le loro prestazioni lavorative attraverso una varietà di strumenti invasivi.
