  ...and thing with this is, it'd certainly be less effort to just pay all their employees a living wage and just generally not treat them like shit. 🙃🙃🙃 https://twitter.com/...

  Reminder that we live in a corporate-owned police state - even being dissatisfied with your job is a thought crime. Opposing police is a thought crime. Anything other than being a slave to billionaires is a thought crime. https://twitter.com/...

  Pretty sure this is a clear violation of Section 7/8 of the NLRA? https://twitter.com/...

  SCOOP: Amazon is spying on its workers in closed Facebook groups using a tool that categorizes every post their make and analyzes their sentiment, according to internal reports we have viewed https://www.vice.com/... simply a blockbuster by @LaurenKGurley and @josephfcox

  NEW: Internal “Social Media Monitoring” reports we obtained show Amazon is actively surveilling its workers in closed Facebook groups, analyzing their sentiment, specifically looking for “drivers planning for any strike or protest against Amazon” https://www.vice.com/...

  Amazon is hiring a pair of intelligence analysts that will, among other things, collect info about “labor organizing threats against the company” and file “restraining orders against activist groups.” https://www.amazon.jobs/...

  New: Amazon says that a job posting for an intelligence analyst to track labor organizing threats was “not an accurate description of the role” and it has “since been corrected.” https://www.cnbc.com/...

  Amazon is hiring ‘intelligence analysts’, who should work on ‘sensitive topics that are highly confidential, including labor organizing threats against the company’ and spy on ‘organized labor, activist groups, hostile political leaders’. Via @jfslowik / https://www.amazon.jobs/.…

  Amazon is looking for a snitch to report on employees who want fair labor practices. https://twitter.com/...

  What's the opposite of a job alert? Don't take this job. It's gross and you will be asked to do gross things. https://twitter.com/...

  Pre-emptive union busting! It's like we're repeating the worst aspects of our history. https://twitter.com/...

  I spoke to an employment lawyer about the implications of these job posts, which Amazon has since deleted https://www.wired.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  A century ago, they'd just hire the Pinkerton's to bust some union organizers' heads. So, I guess the more things change, they stay the same. #amazon https://twitter.com/...

  Say it with us, union busting is disgusting! https://twitter.com/...

  We need stronger labor protections now! https://twitter.com/...

  Disgusting. Jeff Bezos became the richest man on Earth while spying on, underpaying, and mistreating his workers. We must build a powerful trade union movement to stand up to the billionaire class and finally say: Enough. You cannot have it all. https://www.vice.com/...

  Good reminder that still no explanation for how that TikTok deletion email came to be. https://twitter.com/...

  So weird how all the big tech companies keep accidentally highlighting union busting as a key part of their jobs and products, from Facebook's union-muting workplace chat tool to Amazon's new union-busting analyst position — good thing they're all just honest mistakes! https://tw…

  On the google comms team we got sent “sensitive” job descriptions by recruitment teams before they got published to scrub for this kind of thing. wonder how this one fell through the cracks. https://twitter.com/...

  Amazon really tweeted out “Black lives matter!” then created its own COINTELRPO 3 months later wow https://twitter.com/...

  Amazon hiring an in-house union buster is gross, & their publicizing it one more sign of monopolistic disregard for laws and decency However, let's marvel for a moment that worker power in tech is fierce and ceaseless enough to scare Amazon into making such a hire! Solidarity! ht…

  How many times will corporations need to re-discover that preventing employees from unionizing is illegal? https://twitter.com/...

  i guess when you believe the govenment has been permanently stripped of any its power over your company, you just go ahead and say the quiet parts out loud? https://www.amazon.jobs/... https://twitter.com/...

  The second listing, for the more senior position, is also tasked with collecting info about “hostile political leaders.” Worth noting that Amazon operates in a lot of countries, but still 👀https://www.amazon.jobs/ ...
