Amazon threatened to fire climate activists, says employee group

Jaci Anderson, an Amazon spokesperson, said that the company's external communications policy isn't new.

A group of Amazon.com employees who pushed the company to combat climate change say Amazon has threatened to fire some of them if they continue to speak out about their employer’s internal affairs.
 
Two were threatened with termination, a spokesperson for Amazon Employees for Climate Justice said, and a total of four were told in meetings that they were in violation of the company’s policies on workers speaking to the press and on social media.
 
Maren Costa, a user experience designer, was threatened with termination after speaking to the Washington Post, according to a statement from the group.
