People working for Amazon have written to the company’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, to protest the sale of facial recognition tools and other technology to police departments and government agencies.
The workers cite the use of Amazon technology by the US Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which have been criticised for enforcing Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy, which has seen parents separated from their childrenat the US border.
“As ethically concerned Amazonians, we demand a choice in what we build, and a say in how it is used,” the letter states. “We learn from history, and we understand how IBM’s systems were employed in the 1940s to help Hitler.
“IBM did not take responsibility then, and by the time their role was understood, it was too late.
“We will not let that happen again. The time to act is now.”
Holocaust experts claim IBM’s German subsidiary directly supplied the Nazis with technology which assisted the operation of concentration camps at Auschwitz and Treblinka.
In their letter to Mr Bezos, the Amazon workers said they would “refuse to build the platform” which powers ICE, or any technology used to violate human rights.
Listing three demands, the workers called on the CEO to stop selling the technology to law enforcement, stop providing infrastructure to partners which enable ICE, and implement stronger transparency measures.
“Our company should not be in the surveillance business; we should not be in the policing business; we should not be in the business of supporting those who monitor and oppress marginalized populations,” the letter concludes.
sure i guess sex is okay but have you ever closed a dozen tabs after finishing an academic paper
I got chills just thinking about this
Reminder if you’re working retail tomorrow and this weekend
Stay hydrated as well as you can. Some stores let employees keep water bottles at their registers. If you’re on the floor, try to sneak off for water breaks. I know on black friday this will be super hard, but whenever you can take breaks (depending on your state your employer is legally required to let you have a number of breaks depending on your hours) make sure your getting fluids. And eat. Keep your blood sugar up.
Customers will be cranky. Many of them will know how bad your day will automatically suck and be nice but if you get cranky and pissy people just know it’s not your fault.
Avoid looking at the clock. Trust me.
Despite what I just said, in my experience the day will go faster than you think.
Get a decent night sleep tonight.
Deep breaths. The 80 people in line knew what they were getting into when they crawled out of bed to go shopping on the biggest shopping day of the year.
If you’re working a 12 hour shift, if you can think of nothing else positive, remember that your paycheck will likely be larger than average. That’s what got me through the day anyway.
