Amazon workers press company on climate change response after Pakistan floods

Many Amazon workers whose families in Pakistan faced devastating floods last year say the company needs to do more on climate change.Jan. 10, 2023, 12:51 PM UTCMore than 800 Amazon employees are calling on the company to step up its response to climate change through foreign aid — a sign internal activism is still alive at tech companies despite layoffs and a looming economic downturn.

The employees say the aid is a way for Amazon to take greater responsibility for its role in producing theIn a petition posted on an internal system, the workers are asking Amazon to contribute toward “reparations” for Pakistan, which suffered devastating flooding last summer and fall, by matching employee donations to relief efforts, according to screenshots given to NBC News. They also want the company to match employee donations in future climate related disasters.

“Amazon’s success and scale comes with a broad responsibility,” the petition reads. “As Amazonians, we are proud to uphold our leadership principles, and in that spirit, we owe it to our workforce, our customers, and the planet we live on to mitigate the harm our operations cause.”was started by Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, a group of workers that has pushed the company on climate issues for years.

Something is decidedly wrong when one person virtue-signals by telling another they should contribute to a cause. If the 800 in this case gave to the cause and then virtue-signaled, ok then.

Matching employee donations would be a cool thing.... but why specifically Pakistan?

Nazism is installed in Brazil. Who implemented it was the STF, TSE together with the elected government which is a thief disapproved by the nation and helped by friends of the court who are corrupt. Now we have children arrested, elderly people dying in concentration camps.

Why is this news NBC

800? Wow! How many employees does Amazon have?

Reparations? Did Amazon bring a flood to Pakistan?...

The increase in emissions is due to Amazons increase in moving their own freight.

That money will come out of the pockets of Amazon customers. The employees are welcome to donate from their own pockets.

This is just childish.

As long as it comes directly out of THIER paychecks, I’m all for it.

What are we doing America? 😔🇺🇸

What?! Are these people smoking meth or fent? Pakistan flooded because their govt doesn’t do flood prevention. You can’t claim any adverse weather event is climate change ans hold a kangaroo court to lock up the supposed climate criminals. Give me a break
