  Amazon Asks Delivery Drivers to Sign "Biometric Confirmation" Form Amazon, an e-commerce giant, expects 75,000 delivery drivers to sign the "biometric approval" form by the end of this week. In a statement made by Amazon, it was reported that all of their drivers must sign this form for the business to continue, and anyone who refuses to sign will lose their job. The "biometric approval" form will legalize the use of cameras that can detect the smallest movement of each driver in the vehicle and monitor all their actions. The company claims these cameras are to authenticate drivers and link them to their accounts. Amazon also argues that thanks to this system, security problems will be eliminated and the quality of the delivery experience will increase.

Although Amazon reports that drivers who do not sign the consent form will lose their job, it is not actually their real employer.

An anonymous Amazon delivery company owner said that if some of his beloved and good employees do not want to sign this form, they risk being fired and losing that employee.
