We have evidence in the form of writing, e.g. accounting books and the journals of Merer [1], who describes the supervision of the construction and of the workers. The logbooks describe worker strikes (they complain about not being given enough beer) and how they're divided into teams of skilled laborers that compete against each other. These logbooks coincidentally describe canals used to bring supplies close to the pyramids.
