Amazon is tracking its drivers through an app but doesn't give them a work phone. Some drivers have to keep the tracking app on their personal devices and give it location data at all times: https://t.co/eClklTQhgq pic.twitter.com/xs0anl5KoQ

New: I spoke to Amazon delivery drivers about an app they use called Mentor, which is framed as a driver safety tool, but ends up wreaking havoc in their day-to-day lives on the job due to consistent bugs and the pressures of being constantly monitored.https://t.co/kqoswuO4GN

“The knowledge that you’re under this level of constant surveillance, that ... an app or algorithm could make a determination that impacts your life or your ability to put food on the table for your kids is profoundly unjust ... It’s incredibly dystopian.” https://t.co/tDPC9AjveP

Everything about this is dystopian and horrifying and unjust, but I think the most dystopian thing is the fact tht their surveillance app rates drivers from "Poor" to "Fantastic+" https://t.co/A0vGuiINhJ
