Hundreds of Amazon workers protest company's climate impact, return-to-office mandate FOX13

As many as 1,000 Amazon workers at the tech giant’s headquarters in Seattle plan to walk off the job to protest layoffs, a return-to-office mandate and concerns about corporate climate policies.Telling executives to "strive harder," hundreds of corporate Amazon workers protested what they decried as the company's lack of progress on climate goals and an inequitable return-to-office mandate during a lunchtime demonstration at its Seattle headquarters Wednesday.

The Amazon Spheres, part of the Amazon headquarters campus, in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, U.S., on Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023. "Today looks like it might be the start of a new chapter in Amazon's history, when tech workers coming out of the pandemic stood up and said, ‘We still want a say in this company and the direction of this company,’" said Eliza Pan, a former Amazon corporate employee and a co-founder of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice.Amazon, which relies on fossil fuels to power the planes, trucks and vans that ship packages all over the world, has an enormous carbon footprint.

Since more employees returned to the office, Glasser said, there has also been a good energy on the company’s South Lake Union campus and at its other urban centers. More than 20,000 workers, however, signed a petition urging Amazon to reconsider the return-to-office mandate. Pamela Hayter, a project manager at Amazon, started an internal Slack channel called "Remote Advocacy" after the company announced its return-to-office policy. Its 33,000 members share stories about how the return-to-office policy impacted their lives.
