Globalization and the technological revolution contribute to the growing use of robots in factories and companies of all kinds, which has led to the deterioration of conditions of workers in light of the decline in jobs available because of the control of robots in many sectors.

In his article published by the British newspaper The Guardian, the British writer John Harris discussed the phenomenon of marginalization of workers and condone the granting of their rights.

Harris referred to the practices that Amazon has followed in recent years and the working conditions of its employees that pose many ethical dilemmas.

The branches of Amazon in Spain, Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom have experienced disturbances and protests by workers, denouncing their low wages and "inhumane working conditions".

A group of Somali-based workers also pressed Amazon to accept a petition of mass protest.

This story revolves around the company's decision to increase the minimum production and demand per worker by packing 230 products per hour instead of 160, which these workers find difficult because of their commitment to fast the month of Ramadan.

Although the minimum wage in the United States rose from $ 11 to $ 15, Amazon invoked its commitment to the new minimum wage in Britain, which rose from £ 8 to £ 9.5 (about $ 10 to $ 12).

Amazon also eliminated the system of profit sharing and incentives, which led to the loss of British workers equivalent to 1500 pounds sterling per year (1890 dollars).

Anyone who has worked for a limited time in Amazon can know about the laborious conditions at the US company.

Regardless of high production, hard work under constant scrutiny, with a culture that puts humanitarian demands in the second place in favor of increased efficiency, as well as constant questions about welfare and safety are factors that make the company in workers' labor rights centers.

Ambulance in the UK has been raided in the British city of Reggie 115 times in just three years (Reuters)

The British Workers' Union asked for information about the Amazon warehouse in Rogley, Staffordshire, where the ambulance had raced to the company's headquarters 115 times in just three years, with three incidents involving pregnancy, maternity problems and traumatic trauma.

The author says he has seen many other problems faced by workers, such as mandatory production rates, as well as breathing problems caused by the inhalation of dust accumulated on the cardboard boxes approved for storage and having to urinate in plastic bottles to avoid going to the bathroom and lower productivity.

Many Amazon warehouse workers carry mobile devices that monitor their movements and control their performance. But this type of technology will soon be replaced by "enhanced reality" technology, where workers will wear headphones and goggles that combine their immediate surroundings with instructions that may appear Repeated before their eyes.

Amazon has patented the 2017 version of the technology, which it calls the Enhanced Reality Interface to facilitate warehouse operations.

This device can determine where the person is at all times and when he stops moving, and he can broadcast the efficiency requirements directly to the workers, but who wants to work in this way?

Advanced technology within Amazon, which has been in use for the last two decades, has one thing in mind: it is eager to dispense with the human factor.

At one of the company's warehouses near Manchester Airport, robot robots move the boxes to the assembly workers, and the speed at which orders are processed is fictitious, while most human workers are just assistants.

As for logistics, research and machine-focused development aimed at replacing human workers is still ongoing.

The tough and tough heads of companies will come to the simple conclusion of why worry about the labor problem, while we will not need it in the near future?

In contrast to the good things we hear about automation, it seems as if we are heading towards a sort of fantasy economy devoid of the contribution of the human factor, which reflects the reality of gradually worsening working conditions.

Trade union activists who have begun to challenge all this mean deserve praise, and very soon people will follow their footsteps in many other places. The rest will realize that the delivery of Christmas applications is a bad reality for workers.
