Today is #MayDay, a moment to honor the historic gains made by workers and the labor movement. Workers are still fighting for their rights and there is no better example of this than the warehouse workers of Amazon and Walmart.These two mega-corporations employ abusive and invasive surveillance tactics to get even richer at the expense of workers' rights, safety, and dignity. In solidarity with these workers today, say enough is enough: https://lnkd.in/eypAGZyu

We went to Amazon and Walmart headquarters to ask are they willing to have every movement tracked and monitored like they do their own workers? Constant surveillance at Amazon and Walmart warehouses abuse workers’ rights and threatens their health, safety, and well-being. Take action with us to tell Amazon and Walmart to stop the excessive surveillance. 📷 1-3 Amazon headquarters Seattle, WA 📷4-7 Walmart headquarters Bentonville, AR

Amazon and Walmart are making record profits on the backs of warehouse workers by exploiting them through excessive and dangerous surveillance practices.  We breakdown how this surveillance harms warehouse workers, how we got here, and what these two mega-corporations can do to put people before profits.    Join us in calling for Amazon and Walmart to put a stop to this extreme and harmful surveillance now. oxf.am/EndSurveillance
