I wonder if Walmart is taking other steps to increase worker safety and well-being or mostly just the one that creates a massive Dark Knight-style network of cameras?

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

My first thought was actually they're doing this to minimize employee theft.
At our (Canadian) Walmart, I've seen so many cameras set up, you'd think you were at a casino! I'm talking cameras in the dry good isle, FFS! And we have an airport style security gate as well as uniformed security at the store exits.
And to think that they trust customers enough to be their own cashier, yet treat them like criminals while they shop, is madness.

This here's the primary reason I shop there as little as possible.
I wonder if Walmart CEOs realize that they too are "CEOs"...
There's nothing noble/altruistic about this, guaranteed.
