SAN FRANCISCO: Amazon on Sept 1 pulled a job ad seeking an analyst to monitor the “threat” of labour organising at the e-commerce behemoth, which has resisted unionisation since its founding.

Images of the posting shared by nonprofit pro-labour group Athena described a search for an analyst on “sensitive topics that are highly confidential including labour organising threats against the company”.
