"I'm with these employees about as much as you could be. I think if you took a poll... at Amazon and asked what percentage of you want this company to do a better job job on climate change, you'd hit, 80%, 90%, 95%. They have a right to speak out."https://kuow.org/stories/archives-closing-and-bakeries-opening-this-week …

"The idea of muzzling your employees...is really bad when they're speaking to a global issue. I think it's important for people to allow them to have their say. It's not like they're giving away propriety info or trade secrets. They're talking about the impact of their work."

As we've said, "Allowing a corporation to silence us on its contribution to the climate crisis is a clear overreach of comms policy, and effectively demands we give up our basic humanity and integrity in order to be employees."
