Guardian: Amazon threatened to fire workers who spoke out on climate

A number of Amazon employees associated with Amazon Employees for Climate Justice told The Guardian that they had been contacted by Amazon's HR department telling them that any future comments made about the companies role in climate change could be grounds for termination.

Employees say they were contacted by HR following a change to the companies external communication policy shortly after Amazon Employees for Climate Justice announced they would be joining the September Global Climate Strike marches.

Amazon denies that the policy change was designed to target any group of workers in particular but employees vocal about issues related to climate and Amazon's connections with big fossil fuel companies believe that they have been targeted specifically, noting a climate of fear that has swept over employees who used to be far more vocal about the issue.
