Data from two recent surveys, funded in part by Oxfam — the National Survey of Amazon Warehouse Workers and the National Survey of Walmart Warehouse Workers — is included in the report. The results show that a substantial amount of Amazon and Walmart warehouse employees surveyed reported being closely watched by technology while in the workplace. Advertisement"The conditions there are absolutely horrific," one Amazon warehouse worker in Alabama was quoted as saying in the report. The Oxfam report says that at Amazon, warehouse workers "are assigned handheld devices or scanners that record, count, and measure every item they move during their day." One Walmart worker quoted in the Oxfam report alleged that the company's warehouse robots "are treated better than human beings."

An Amazon worker died in Indiana in May after his head collided with a conveyor belt. OSHA has previously found that several Amazon warehouses failed to report worker injuries in the past. Regulators have also criticized Amazon's focus on speed at its warehouses, which resulted in workers "awkwardly twisting, bending and extending themselves to lift items," Business Insider previously reported. According to Amazon, workplace injury rates have reduced by "nearly 15%" from 2019 to 2021, Business Insider previously reported. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
