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. (Legal notice containing court injunctions : united4respect.org/campaigns/walm…).
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?
"AI will change every job." The future is here. What are YOU seeing on the job as Walmart, Amazon, and other retailers roll out AI in our workplaces? Take 5 minutes to fill out our NATIONAL RETAIL WORKERS AI SURVEY: bit.ly/49mmVzD Read more: bit.ly/4pB6VhS
Exactly this!! @thenation lays out why dismantling ICE starts with going after its corporate backers -- especially companies like Amazon that store its surveillance info. thenation.com/article/activi…
Retail workers deserve predictable schedules and respect on the job. Let's make 2026 the year we win a #FairWorkweek. UFR is proud to support the #SchedulesThatWork Act and the #PartTimeWorker Bill of Rights Act reintro'd this month by @SenWarren @RosaDeLauro and @janschakowsky.
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. More:…

Recent headlines have made it clear: the two largest employers in America — Walmart and Amazon — are going ALL IN on artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced tech. What do YOU think the future holds for people who work in retail? TAKE OUR SURVEY: act.united4respect.org/a/ai-at-work
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%.
"Under the Big Ugly Bill, Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people."
Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans. Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people. Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.
The president refuses court orders to fund SNAP, working families suffer. If you or someone you care about needs help, FindHelp.org can point you to local resources. Please share — then call on Congress to fix this NOW: act.united4respect.org/a/gov-shutdown… usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
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/ope…
Can you relate? “I'm a disabled single parent. Without Medicaid and SNAP, I will die. I've worked & paid into the system for 34 years. I don't deserve to feel like a parasite who should die off.” (Paige C., Amazon associate in KY) TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/47iGtUw
