In a first, warehouse “picker” Daniel Olayiwola will present a resolution at the company’s annual shareholder meeting.

Earlier this year, Olayiwola bought Amazon stock, giving him the right to bring a resolution, which he crafted with the worker advocacy organization United for Respect. A picker who has worked at warehouses in Florida and Texas since 2017, Olayiwola is provocatively calling for an end to surveillance and productivity quotas for all Amazon warehouse and delivery workers, including drivers and other third-party contractors.

Your proposal addresses working conditions for workers across Amazon’s warehouse and distribution network, including “pickers” like yourself. What does being a picker at Amazon entail? People will say, “Oh, you don't like it? Just quit.” It's not that simple. Especially now with inflation, bills. People need health insurance. People need to have job security.

How did you arrive at the idea of proposing a shareholder resolution? Were there other things you tried first?
