New York, Dec 2 (EFE/EPA).- Dozens of activists gathered Wednesday afternoon outside Jeff Bezos's luxury apartment on New York City's Fifth Avenue to protest against Amazon.com, Inc.'s business practices and working conditions, saying they are further enriching the world's wealthiest person at a time when small businesses are being forced to close during the coronavirus pandemic.Organized by the ALIGN-NY, Make the Road New York and New York Communities for Change organizations, the protest called on lawmakers to pass legislation to break up Amazon, saying the company has grown far too big and used monopolistic practices to become excessively dominant in the e-commerce industry.

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.
