The shareholders should have told the members of the Amazon Employees For Climate Justice that they were cutting their jobs to save the carbon footprint. Or that they would be taking 10% out of their paychecks to pay for carbon offsets. See how that would go down with the little Warmists, when they have to pay up themselves
Amazon Shareholders Rejected Employees’ Call To Respond To Climate Change
Amazon shareholders rejected a proposal to develop a plan to respond to climate change during the company’s annual meeting on Wednesday. The proposal had gathered the support of nearly 7,700 employees across the company.
The resolution would have required Amazon’s board of directors to prepare a public plan for “disruptions posed by climate change” and how the company will reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
Dozens of shareholders attended the shareholder meeting dressed in white. They stood up while Emily Cunningham, a user experience designer and member of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, addressed her comments to CEO Jeff Bezos, who was not onstage during the meeting.
“Speed is everything,” she said. “Without bold, rapid action we will lose our only chance to avoid catastrophic warming. There’s no issue more important to our customers or our world than the climate crisis, and we are falling far short.”
Seriously, these people work for a company with a massive carbon footprint due to shipping products from all over the world to all over the world using fossil fuels.
But, a lot of these employees are looking to get quietly terminated
After the proposal failed to pass, employees attempted to confront Bezos, who declined to meet with them.
“Jeff remained off-stage, ignored the employees and would not speak to them,†the group said in a statement after the event. “Jeff’s inaction and lack of meaningful response underscore his dismissal of the climate crisis and spoke volumes about how Amazon’s board continues to de-prioritize addressing Amazon’s role in the climate emergency.â€
Who thinks it’s a good idea to publicly criticize the owner of a company?
