Monument to Exploitation shows a bronze plaque with the geolocation of one of the headquarters of the Amazon company. The plaque pays tribute to the international strike of Amazon employees in 20 countries during Black Friday 2021. Among workers´ demands, backed by Greenpeace and Oxfam, are increased wages, lower labor control, improvements in working conditions and rights. But beyond the case of Amazon, this work points out that the abusive practices of capitalism have made labor exploitation a common practice in all countries of the world
