Walmart is enabling paid 2-hour delivery for orders made by 1pm on December 24, and free next-day delivery for orders made until December 21 at 2pm. Target extended their in-store pick up and curbside orders until 5pm December 24. They also added 150,000 Shipt workers to make same-day deliveries. Amazon Prime members can opt into one-day delivery for eligible orders made until December 23, and in some locations, customers can get same-day delivery until December 24 for orders of $35 or more.
Since the 19th century, the infamous Pinkerton spy agency has a history of union-busting and involving itself in businesses. Now, Business Insider reports Amazon has turned to Pinkerton to monitor European workers' labor union organizing efforts. Leaked documents from Amazon's Global Security Operations Center revealed analysts have been tracking workers' union organizing activities. A report from Motherboard also disclosed that Amazon data analysts use social media to monitor social justice and environmental activist groups' activities. It's the latest in a string of evidence that highlights Amazon's robust efforts to monitor and crack down on its workers unionizing. Earlier this year, Amazon listed, but quickly removed, a job opening for an analyst that would monitor employee's efforts to organize.
