Report | Eyes Everywhere: Amazon's Surveillance Infrastructure and Revitalizing Worker Power

Open Markets Institute’s latest report, “Eyes Everywhere: Amazon's Surveillance Infrastructure and Revitalizing Worker Power,” illustrates the dangers of Amazon’s pervasive worker surveillance and the solutions that can be employed to stop that surveillance.

The report, authored by Daniel Hanley and Sally Hubbard explains in detail how worker surveillance endangers the mental and physical health of Amazon workers. It establishes how surveillance enables Amazon to deter workers from unionizing, increases the precarity of workers who can be terminated at any time for deviating from metrics they don’t even know exist, and leads to other dominant firms adopting similar practices.

It also provides a set of proposals and mechanisms for how antitrust enforcers, regulators, and state and federal lawmakers can restrict and prevent increasingly pervasive surveillance practices.
