WASHINGTON: Four Democratic US senators on Oct 15 sent a letter to Amazon.com Inc's Chief Executive Jeff Bezos, demanding answers over its alleged moves to track and monitor employees and limit efforts to form unions.

Democratic senators Brian Schatz, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand asked the company for details on the steps it takes to discourage workers from organising, how it tracks workers who participate in strikes and the law firms Amazon contracts with for union avoidance.
