United for Respect

We are a movement of people working at Walmart, Amazon and Wall Street owned retail companies fighting to live with dignity and respect.

[United for Respect @forrespect]

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.

#WorkersOverBillionaires

[SEIU @SEIU]

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.

[United for Respect @forrespect]

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?

Exactly this!! @thenation lays out why dismantling ICE starts with going after its corporate backers -- especially companies like Amazon that store its surveillance info. https://t.co/EcYh8P21xX

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.

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."

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

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.

[United for Respect @forrespect]

The president refuses court orders to fund SNAP, working families suffer.

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. https://t.co/Dm8RXw4ljv
