An investigation by openDemocracy reports that Amazon uses AI-powered surveillance to monitor the risk of union organising in its UK warehouses, including sites in Birmingham, Coventry and Sutton Coldfield. Critics say the system amounts to union-busting, tracking worker activity to pre-empt collective action. The findings have prompted debate about labour rights and workplace monitoring at the company.
