According to CNN, the lunchtime walkout will begin at noon.
The Post cited internal messages shared by employees over Slack and email, which listed Amazon’s return-to-office mandate, climate commitments, and recent layoffs among the reasons for the walkout.
Regarding the planned walkout, a company spokesperson said, “We respect our employees’ rights to express their opinions.”A look at the meeting agenda shows five company measures Amazon is in favor of, and 18 resolutions the company appears to be against. The resolutions could all get voted down, but many are trying to hold Amazon responsible for issues like plastic pollution, warehouse conditions, climate concerns, workers’ rights, and diversity.
Shulman says Amazon helps drive the US and global economy with sales and also drives the internet with Amazon Web Services as more customers turn to Amazon for online services. Matt Littlejohn, a Senior Vice President with Oceana, spoke to KIRO 7 about the group’s recent efforts to bring publicity to the issue of Amazon and reducing plastics in packaging with a series of actions in Seattle.
