Amazon still seems hell bent on turning workers into robots – here’s a better way forward – David Spencer in the Conversation
13 March 2023
Professor David Spencer has written a new article for The Conversation about ongoing strikes by Amazon workers protesting about pay, long hours and surveillance systems.
In ‘Amazon still seems hell bent on turning workers into robots – here’s a better way forward‘, Professor Spencer argues:
“In the end, technology will only work for workers if it is democratised. If workers and society rather than big tech companies such as Amazon are to benefit from automation, they need to have a larger influence and stake in it. If this can be achieved, less and better work remains the prize.”
