Italy watchdog bans Amazon unit from using workers’ personal data Italy watchdog bans Amazon unit from using workers’ personal data

🇮🇹 Italy’s data protection authority has ordered Amazon to stop using the personal data of 1,800+ warehouse workers near Rome.

Why did Amazon collected information on workers' union activity, medical conditions, Family crises?

#MakeAmazonPay

Amazon pushes workers to the brink and busts their unions.

It has lined up behind Trumpism and its attack on Europe’s data protections.

And for the last five years, it has evaded any democratic scrutiny.

But yesterday, Amazon faced workers, trade unions and MEPs in the European Parliament.

U.S. unions push back as Trump escalates attacks on immigrants and cities As the brutality of the Trump administration's immigration raids grows, so does the resistance by the U.S. labour movement.

As the brutality of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown grows, so does the resistance of the US labour movement. ✊

BREAKING: Time for Amazon to open the box! 📦 Behind those fashion bargains lurks labour exploitation. Find out more in our new report and take action to demand transparency, regulation and justice: labourbehindthelabel.org/amazon

While Jeff Bezos held a lavish wedding in Venice, Amazon refused to send a high-level representative to testify in the European Parliament.

This is an insult to its workers and our democratic institutions.

We demand an end to Amazon's contracts with the European institutions.

US tech giant Amazon accused of snubbing European Parliament again Amazon did not show up to a European Parliament hearing on working conditions inside its warehouses.

“If an Amazon worker would have behaved this way towards Amazon management, they would have already been fired three times over,” said UNI Europa Regional Secretary Oliver Roethig, in a letter addressed to MEPs on Wednesday.

EU Parliament snubs Amazon from hearing over representative dispute Amazon was not represented at a hearing of the European Parliament after a row with the employment committee over which personnel should appear before it.

Amazon just ghosted the European Parliament AGAIN. No-shows at official hearings. Secret lobbying behind closed doors. Worker rights ignored. Enough is enough.

It’s time to demand accountability. It’s time to #MakeAmazonPay.

After no-show, unions call for tougher EU sanctions on Amazon Amazon has failed to show up in front of the European Parliament for the third time. UNI Europa demands tougher EU sanctions.
