Amazon French warehouses unit fined 32 million euros

France's data protection agency said Tuesday it had fined Amazon's French warehouse management unit 32 million euros for an "excessively intrusive" surveillance system to monitor staff performance.
Amazon France Logistique monitored the performance of employees through data from scanners used by the staff to process packages, according to the French Data Protection Agency (CNIL). Several thousand employees were affected by this system, CNIL said. The regulator opened a probe in 2019 following media articles and complaints by workers.
