Amazon uses union-busting AI surveillance to monitor union risk in UK warehouses

Amazon uses an AI tool called Atlas to predict unionization risks at its warehouses by analyzing hundreds of data points, including social media posts and employee survey responses, assigning facilities risk scores between 100 and 900. Internal documents revealed as part of a court case show the system categorizes warehouses into tiers to inform staffing and resource decisions, contradicting Amazon's claims that it doesn't attempt to prevent unionization. Amazon disputes the characterization of Atlas as individual employee surveillance, stating it operates at the facility level only.
