Our mission began with organizing for respect at Walmart a decade ago. They weren't a fan of our protests, and took us to court to ban us from their stores and premises in several states.

Amazon workers aren't convinced that AI is going to make their jobs better.
In a survey from @forrespect , workers say AI is making it impossible to get real answers from HR, especially when they're recovering from workplace injuries.

This wasn’t about billionaires.
It was about the people who actually make everything possible.
The ones who sew, build, care, cook, clean, drive, and create.
Because culture doesn’t come from boardrooms, it comes from workers.
#LaborIsArt. And we are the art.

Warehouse workers are raising their voices at the Georgia State Capitol for stronger protections—calling for fair quotas, safe conditions, and dignity on the job. It's time to put people before profits and pass the Warehouse Worker Protection Act.

More than half of workers are:
Falling behind on rent or bills
Choosing between food, gas, and essentials
Meanwhile, corporate profits keep growing — but paychecks aren’t keeping up.
👇 Tell us:
Does your paycheck cover your cost of living or are you struggling too?

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide water resource issue.
Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival in 2011.

How Oregon’s Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water Crisis
Amazon has come to the state’s eastern farmland, worsening a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages.
Rolling Stone reports in collaboration with @fernnews: rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
Community note
The headline blaming data centers is incorrect. As the piece goes on to explain, Oregon’s water shortage is primarily caused by pollution from agricultural runoff by nitrate fertilizers, with data centers making up a negligible portion of Oregon’s water use.

Big Tech oligarchs are coming for your job.
Jeff Bezos will be replacing 600,000 jobs at Amazon with robots. His vision: fully automate operations.
Amazon's not alone. That's the direction of every major corporation.
AI & robotics must benefit workers, not the top 1%.

Really hard to see how any of these deals are going to benefit regular people. And given AI's energy demands, much of this $38 billion deal is likely to be powered by fossil fuels. cnbc.com/2025/11/03/open-ai-…
