Raid on Amazon in Austria
The financial police seal off a warehouse to check the chauffeurs of the delivery vans. In a short time, dozens of violations are discovered.
Amazon Austria had to tolerate a raid on Tuesday in the presence of a journalist of all people. Amazon was hosting a reporter from the daily newspaper Die Presse on a tour of a distribution centre in Lower Austria when suddenly more than 60 officers of the financial police were on the mat. Their suspicion of dummy companies and illicit work was not directed directly against Amazon, but rather against its subcontractors for delivery trips.
The authorities occupied all entrances and exits of the Amazon distribution centre in Großrebersdorf and checked all chauffeurs for two hours. As reported by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, 174 employees of no less than 36 companies were treated by the authorities.

NOT DELIVERING Amazon ending ‘hero pay’ in Canada slashing hourly wages and cutting double overtime pay despite coronavirus outbreaks
AMAZON is cancelling "hero pay" for its Canadian workforce, despite rising infections in its warehouses - and as CEO Jeff Bezos prepares to become the world's first trillionaire.
The pay was granted in recognition of working in hazardous conditions during the pandemic, and equated to a $2 wage increase and double overtime pay.
The announcement was made in an internal company memo, obtained by PressProgress, and came as a number of workers tested positive in warehouses across the country.
“We are providing a final extension of the temporary $2/hour pay increase and double overtime pay through May 30.”
After that, the memo continues: “we will return to our regular pay and overtime structure.”
On May 1, an outbreak at an Alberta warehouse was declared, after five people tested positive.

Former NSA chief Keith Alexander has joined Amazon’s board of directors
Alexander was the public face of US surveillance during the Snowden leaks
Keith Alexander is joining Amazon’s board of directors, the company revealed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing today. (Alexander has also been added to the company board’s official site.) A former director of the National Security Agency and the first commander of the US Cyber Command, Alexander served as the public face of US data collection during the Edward Snowden leaks, but he retired from public service in 2013.
Alexander is a controversial figure for many in the tech community because of his involvement in the widespread surveillance systems revealed by the Snowden leaks. Those systems included PRISM, a broad data collection program that compromised systems at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook — but not Amazon.
Alexander was broadly critical of reporting on the Snowden leaks, even suggesting that reporters should be legally restrained from covering the documents. “I think it’s wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000-whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these — you know it just doesn’t make sense,” Alexander in an interview in 2013. “We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don’t know how to do that. That’s more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it’s wrong to allow this to go on.”
Alexander’s board spot will also give Amazon new expertise in defense contracting, an area of particular focus for the company in recent years. Amazon was a leading candidate for a recent $10 billion cloud computing contract with the Pentagon, but it ultimately lost out to Microsoft. The company is currently engaged in a lawsuit against the federal government in connection with the contract, alleging that President Donald Trump’s personal statements against Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos biased the process against Amazon.

Amazon One lets you pay with your palm
Amazon wants its palm recognition technology in stores, stadiums, and office buildings.
Amazon is unveiling its own palm recognition technology today that will be used initially to turn your hand into a personal credit card inside the company’s physical retail stores. Amazon One uses the palm of your hand to identify you, using a combination of surface-area details like lines and ridges, alongside vein patterns to create a “palm signature.”

Leaked: Confidential Amazon memo reveals new software to track unions
The new tool would also track other non-union threats to the company, like crime and weather.
Amazon has long opposed the idea of its warehouse employees forming a union, though much of its anti-union strategies have stayed under wraps. But a confidential Amazon internal memo viewed by Recode reveals how the company is making significant investments in technology to track and counter the threat of unionization.
The 11-page document, dated February 2020, describes Amazon’s plans to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to better analyze and visualize data on unions around the globe, alongside other non-union “threats” to the company related to factors like crime and weather. Out of 40 or so data points listed in the memo, around half of them were union-related or related to employee issues, like mandatory overtime and safety incidents. The memo requested staffing and funds to purchase software that would specifically help consolidate and visually map data from three different Amazon groups, led by employee relations (which is part of human resources), along with Amazon’s Global Intelligence Unit and Global Intelligence Program.
The new technology system — called the geoSPatial Operating Console, or SPOC — would help the company analyze and visualize at least around 40 different data sets, the memo says. Among them are many related to unions, including “Whole Foods Market Activism/Unionization Efforts,” “union grant money flow patterns,” “and “Presence of Local Union Chapters and Alt Labor Groups.” Additionally, one of the potential use cases for the tool is described in the memo as “The Union Relationship Map,” though no other details are provided.
The memo offers evidence of how Amazon is dedicating significant time and resources to reduce the likelihood of unionization among its front-line workforce, which totaled nearly 1.4 million people across Amazon and Whole Foods from March through September 19, counting every employee who worked for the companies for any period of time.

Amazon Allegedly Forced Pregnant People to Risk Miscarriages or Lose Their Jobs
Four workers at an Oklahoma City Amazon fulfillment center report that the company routinely takes months to honor doctor’s orders for lighter assignments for pregnant people, putting employees in the position of either risking miscarriage or taking unpaid leave and facing the prospect of being fired.
A pregnant Amazon worker at the Oklahoma facility named Michelle Posey told Vice that in June, she presented her managers at Amazon a “modified duty” letter from her doctor advising that she not lift weights greater than 15 pounds. The company responded that due to covid, there were no available positions to accommodate the request. After a supervisor allegedly told her “If you can’t do your job, why don’t you leave?,” Posey says she took an unpaid leave of absence during which someone who worked for Amazon contacted her and instructed her to ask her gynecologist to “lift the restrictions.” When the doctor did not, Posey says she couldn’t work until September, five months after submitting her modified duty request, when the distribution center finally reassigned her and paid her just $500 in back wages.
Three other employees who wished to remain anonymous shared similar stories, with one pregnant worker telling Vice’s Motherboard that her doctor-ordered accommodation request for a 20-pound weight limit for pushing, pulling, and lifting along with a 10-minute break was only honored after multiple visits to the emergency room for vaginal bleeding. Another says her car was repossessed and she faced shut off notices from utility companies over unpaid bills as she took unpaid leave rather than go against doctor’s orders waiting for her request for reassignment to be approved by Amazon.

Spain's Biggest Union Is Suing Amazon for Spying on Striking Workers
The union alleges that Amazon hired the Pinkertons, which subcontracted with a local firm, to surveil workers planning an October strike in Barcelona.
More evidence of Amazon's widespread worker surveillance program and the company's use of the Pinkerton spy agency has emerged in Spain.
El Diario reported on Monday that Amazon spied on workers planning an October 30, 2019 strike at its BCN1 warehouse in Barcelona. To spy on workers, the outlet reported, Amazon called on the Pinkertons, who subcontracted the job in Catalonia to a local firm named Castor & Polux. A retired police officer, Antonio Giménez Raso, was named as a "police liaison" between Castor & Polux and the Catalonia police force, Mossos d'Esquadra.
The Barcelona strike took place days before another strike in Poland that Motherboard reported was infiltrated by Pinkerton operatives working for Amazon.
Castor & Polux’s report on the BCN1 warehouse, obtained by El Diario, is a detailed 51-page document featuring secretly-taken photographs of the strikers and their faces, as well as extensive comments collected from trade unionists, workers, and journalists reporting on the strike. The document also mentions a reporter who interviewed workers, prompting the agents to search for her vehicle, record the license plate and model, and take photographs of it.
Amazon did not immediately respond to Motherboard’s request for comment. A spokesperson told el Diario that Amazon did not direct the Pinkertons or its affiliates to spy on the strike.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to step down this year, replaced by AWS chief Andy Jassy
Jeff Bezos will step down as CEO of Amazon in the third quarter of this year, becoming executive chairman of the company he conceived 27 years ago on a road trip to Seattle, and turning over day-to-day operations to longtime lieutenant Andy Jassy, who made his mark as the leader of Amazon’s fast-growing cloud business.
Here’s a statement from Bezos:
“Amazon is what it is because of invention. We do crazy things together and then make them normal. We pioneered customer reviews, 1-Click, personalized recommendations, Prime’s insanely-fast shipping, Just Walk Out shopping, the Climate Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, marketplace, infrastructure cloud computing, Career Choice, and much more. If you do it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. That yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive. When you look at our financial results, what you’re actually seeing are the long-run cumulative results of invention. Right now I see Amazon at its most inventive ever, making it an optimal time for this transition.”

Amazon plans to monitor drivers in delivery trucks - to protect them
Amazon wants to use cameras to monitor the drivers of its logistics vehicles and secure evidence. To do so, the company is using AI-powered camera technology from a startup.
Amazon is relying here on a safety technology from the Californian startup Netradyne called Driver-i - a small device that is attached to the vehicle's interior mirror and is equipped with four HD cameras (facing the road, the driver and twice to the side). One camera permanently films the driver.

Amazon wants to use cameras to monitor the drivers of its logistics vehicles and secure evidence. To do so, the company is using AI-powered camera technology from a startup.
Amazon is relying here on a safety technology from the Californian startup Netradyne called Driver-i - a small device that is attached to the vehicle's interior mirror and is equipped with four HD cameras (facing the road, the driver and twice to the side). One camera permanently films the driver.

Google wants to connect everything you own to the internet
Surveilling older adults, connected helmets, wearables talking to doctors and other patents from Big Tech.
Hello and welcome back to the world of zany patents from Big Tech! While 2020 is still dragging on (I know it's 2021, but you can't tell me 2020 is over until I can go anywhere other than the grocery store), at least there are still great new patents to uncover. And there's some fascinating ones this week, including Facebook wanting to make clothes like real in games, Microsoft trying to make sports more inclusive and Google wanting to make it easier to spy on your parents. If that's something you want to do.
And remember: The big tech companies file all kinds of crazy patents for things, and though most never amount to anything, some end up defining the future.
⚠️ Alphabet - Surveilling older adults
⚠️ Making analog products digital
⚠️ Keeping your doctor in the loop
⚠️ Amazon - Autonomous avoiding
⚠️ Apple - Detecting traffic wardens
⚠️ Facebook - Simulating clothing
⚠️ Microsoft - An automatic travel diary
⚠️ Bringing sports to visually-impaired people
⚠️ Icebreakers on social media

Amazon delivery drivers in the US have until tonight to sign this consent form for Amazon to collect their biometric info and use AI-cameras that monitor their location and movement.
If they don't sign, they lose their jobs.

You Can’t Trust Amazon When It Feels Threatened
Last week, someone behind the @AmazonNews Twitter account took a fistful of pills, washed them down with a handle of Old Grand-Dad, and started tweeting.
They picked fights with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. They also argued with Wisconsin’s congressional Representative Mark Pocan.
And while all of this is embarrassing and highly cringey, my problem entirely centers around a single tweet in the midst of the storm that says in part: “You don’t really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you?”
Wait a second. Are you seriously asking if I believe in something that has been independently reported by multiple reputable media outlets?
Yes. I absolutely do. Most people will.
My problem is not that Amazon told an easily disprovable lie about something on the retail side of their business; that’s relatively minor—and, at any rate, isn’t anywhere close to my area of focus: their cloud division.
The problem is what that teaches us as customers. We should continue to trust Amazon and Amazonians that we encounter in the course of doing businesses. They’re all well-intentioned people working to do right by us, because Customer Obsession matters to them. We should also trust and continue to trust AWS official communications—when the stakes are low.
But what Amazon has just demonstrated for all the world to see is that when they’re facing a significant obstacle, when it matters to them, they’ll toss leadership principles like Earn Trust and Customer Obsession and Are Right, A Lot to the wind and say whatever’s expedient.

How workplace surveillance is entering our homes and driving through our streets
The home is not the only space where workplace surveillance outside the office or factory is becoming more common. For many, work means driving a vehicle, and so installing cameras that monitor behavior there is an obvious step. Once more, AI is being applied to take such surveillance to the next level. One of the biggest rollouts of this approach is by Amazon to its 75,000 delivery vehicles

Texas man charged with planning to blow up Amazon data center in Virginia
The Wichita Falls man was arrested Thursday after receiving a fake bomb from an FBI undercover employee.
The FBI arrested a Texas man Thursday on charges of hatching a plan to blow up an Amazon data center in Virginia.
Seth Aaron Pendley, 28, of Wichita Falls was taken into custody Thursday after receiving what he thought was a bomb from a like-minded person, but it was actually a dud provided by an FBI undercover employee.
Court documents say Pendley came to the FBI’s attention after agents received a tip that he was posting alarming statements on a forum popular with militia groups, mymilitia.com. He began communicating through an encrypted messaging app with another person, who told the FBI that Pendley planned to use plastic explosives to attack the tech company’s data centers “to kill about 70% of the internet.”

This Company Monitors Prisoners In Xinjiang. It Won An “Innovation” Award At An Event Sponsored By Amazon
The Chinese government’s use of prisons and detention camps in Xinjiang is part of what the US and other countries have called a genocide.
With an Amazon logo behind him and luminaries from Shanghai’s booming venture capital scene in front of him, the executive onstage delivered his pitch. His company, Renwei Electronics, helps authorities in China track prisoners and detainees — alerting guards to their movements and even fitting them with heart rate monitors.
Renwei deploys its “smart prison” system in China’s Xinjiang region, where more than 1 million Muslim minorities have been locked up.
Yet this did not interfere with the warm welcome for Renwei at an event cohosted by an Amazon-backed “joint innovation center” in November. Event organizers gave Renwei’s executive a platform to deliver an “investor road show”–style speech to some of China’s most prestigious investors. And Renwei received a “product innovation award” recognizing it as one of six “outstanding entrepreneurial companies.”
Sent a detailed list of questions, Amazon declined to comment on the record. Renwei did not respond to a request for comment.
A growing list of multinational corporations are under pressure to move their supply chains away from Xinjiang, amid mounting evidence of mass detention and forced labor there, as part of what the US and other countries have recently called a genocide. Congress is considering a bill banning imports from Xinjiang tainted by forced labor, and US customs have already banned products made from tomatoes and cotton in the region, among other goods.
Amazon shut down its e-commerce business in China in 2019, but other parts of its sprawling empire still work with Chinese customers, including its highly profitable cloud computing subsidiary, Amazon Web Services.
