With Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting just around the corner, Open Markets and our allies are demanding that investors hold the corporation accountable for its partnerships with human rights abusers and violations of worker rights. Join us in asking shareholders to demand accountability from Amazon and add your name to the investor petition.
Amazon uses its dominant market position and surveillance technology to vacuum data from customers, workers, and suppliers, leveraging surveillance data into further monopoly power. In its warehouses and delivery vans, Amazon tracks every second of workers’ activity to enforce a dangerously fast and unrelenting pace of work that has led to industry-leading injury rates. Amazon also enters into surveillance partnerships with police, prisons, and governments with a record of human rights abuses.
At Amazon’s shareholder meeting on May 25, workers and community members are asking investors to hold Amazon accountable.
Warehouse worker Daniel Olayiwola is introducing a shareholder resolution to end the productivity quotas and surveillance practices driving the injury crisis at Amazon, while other proposals call for Amazon to end its surveillance partnerships with ICE, prisons, and foreign governments engaged in human rights abuses and to vote against Amazon directors responsible for worker rights violations.
