In a report entitled"Amazon, Let Workers Unionize" the rights group said employees' ability to speak out and bargain collectively was under pressure from the retail giant.
"As Amazon approaches its busiest time of year with Black Friday and Christmas, we are urging the company to respect the human rights of its workers and comply with international labour standards, which state clearly that workers have a right to unionize," she said."Amazon must refrain from breaching its workers' rights to privacy, and stop treating union activity as a threat.
Amnesty said Amazon had reintroduced controversial productivity targets last month with workers in the U.K. having reported receiving a text message stating that,"starting 21 October we will resume measuring and delivering productivity performance feedback to ensure we are ready to deliver for customers in the coming weeks."
"This festive period comes at the end of a long and difficult year for Amazon workers, who have had to fight for their rights at work in the midst of a pandemic," Černušáková said.
Really? O don't think it was widespread.
