– Four Democratic senators sent a letter to Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos on Thursday demanding answers over the company’s alleged moves to track and monitor employees and limit unionization efforts, Reuters reports. “The fact that Amazon has decided to heavily invest in systems to retaliate against freedom of expression about unsafe and unhealthy working conditions, and to refer to organizing and workers’ rights mobilization efforts as threats against the company equal to those posed by hate groups and terrorism, is unacceptable,” Sen. Brian Schatz writes in the letter, which was signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Reuters reports that Amazon has long resisted unionization. In an earlier response, the company had said it does not track or monitor individuals, who may be organizing, planning strikes, or talking to the media.
