Amazon Workers Against Surveillance

We handed out several hundred flyers and stickers about Amazon’s surveillance on workers and society. We had fun, Glühwein, snacks while protesting in front of the future Amazon tower in Berlin. If you work(ed) for Amazon, get in touch! We’re collecting stories! #MakeAmazonPay

(1/X) 📢Dear Amazon colleagues, we cordially invite you to the next meeting of AWl that will take place from September 23rd to 25th, 2022, in Poznan 🇵🇱 This is a rank-and-file meeting organized by workers themselves. We want to exchange information...

Our communities were all targeted by Amazon AWS. So yesterday, we came together at @Amazon's #AWSsummit to stand with workers and immigrants and against mass incarceration at home and apartheid abroad. #AmazonHurts

Is this a new record? 😂 Amazon worker in Poznán gets questioned for being late 4 seconds (!!!) after break. Thanks for sharing that pathetic management behaviour of #Amazon with us. 🙏 #MakeAmazonPay @pracownicza link.medium.com/k2k8u09bAqb

@GetirWorkers @getir_de With the right people in the works council it should not be a problem to get rid of these cameras. Keep up the fight against surveillance!

Illegal surveillance has become the norm @getir_de in all the warehouses. The employer did not inform the employees they will be under surveillance at work AND didn't ask for their consent to be filmed. #Datenschutz

We received this report from a Polish worker at Berlin-Hoppegarten: "One exhausted colleague was leaning on a conveyer belt and the shift manager approached her and told her if she does it again, she will be the first to go." Full story: link.medium.com/mSsybqHf2ob

Otrzymaliśmy takie oto sprawozdanie od polskiego pracownika w Berlin-Hoppegarten:"Wyczerpana koleżanka opierała się o przenośnik taśmowy, a kierownik zmiany podszedł do niej i powiedział, że jeśli jeszcze raz to zrobi, to zostanie zwolniona".Pełna relacja: link.medium.com/mSsybqHf2ob

Surprise: It's not that difficult to stop the permanent #surveillance of workers by #Amazon. Especially with existing laws in Germany, a #workscouncil and #union support. Our new poster explains how to do it, please share!

Surprise: Mit #Betriebsrat und #Gewerkschaft ist es gar nicht so schwer, die ständige #Überwachung bei #Amazon zu stoppen. Unser neues Poster erklärt wie's geht. Bitte teilen!

Rüdiger schreibt uns: Für Amazon arbeiten war "wie eine toxische Beziehung bei der man denkt, man findet nix besseres mehr und ist gezwungen das Spiel so lange mitzumachen wie es geht." Sein Bericht hier: organizeawas.de

Rüdiger tells us about his Amazon job in Germany: "It's like a toxic relationship where you think you can’t find anything better and are forced to play the game as long as you can." Complete story: organizeawas.de/en/ #MakeAmazonPay

Pedro schreibt uns: "Bei uns waren illegale Leistungsmessungen jahrelang ganz 'normal'. Viele Kollegen bekamen Entzündungen an den Handgelenken, an den Augen oder Schlafprobleme." organizeawas.de #MakeAmazonPay

Unfortunately still no good news from Amazon... Pedro reached out to us: "In our department, illegal performance measurements were quite 'normal' for years. Many colleagues got inflammation of the wrists, eyes or sleep problems." Read it on our website organizeawas.de

"Ich habe Weihnachten 2020 für Amazon geliefert. Ich hoffe, die Gewerkschaften sind erfolgreich bei Amazon. Und dass Bezos einen One-way-Flug ins Weltall nimmt.👊" Die ganze Story: @organizeAWAS/dewi-ex-parcel-driver-61879bb4d76b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@organizeAWAS/…

Dewi writes us: "I delivered for Amazon for the Christmas period in 2020. I hope unions kind find a way in to Amazon. I also hope Bezos gets on a one way rocket trip.👊" So do we. @organizeAWAS/dewi-ex-parcel-driver-61879bb4d76b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@organizeAWAS/… #Amazon #MakeAmazonPay

Unsere nächste Story ist von Juliane, Amazon Data Analyst: "Dadurch, dass ich jede kleine Pause im Arbeitszeitsystem erfassen musste, fühlte ich mich permanent unter Zeitdruck. Ich leide seitdem an gereizten Augen." @organizeAWAS/juliane-amazon-data-analyst-1f2eab9cc40" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@organizeAWAS/…

Our next story is by Juliane, Amazon Data Analyst: "Because I had to record every little break in the work time system, I felt permanently under time pressure. I have suffered from irritated eyes ever since."
