“Approximately 2,000 employees worldwide walked off the job shortly after 3 p.m. EST, with about 1,000 of those workers gathering outside the Spheres, the massive glass domes that anchor Amazon’s Seattle headquarters, according to employee groups behind the effort. Amazon disputed the figure and said about 300 employees participated.”
Amazon cut 27,000 jobs, ordered everyone back three days a week, and dropped its Shipment Zero climate goal. Its spokesman says the offices now have “more energy.” Its emissions rose 40% from 2019 to 2021, the same years it was selling the Climate Pledge. Amazon counts walkout participants the way it counts carbon.
