Amazon workers demand Bezos act on climate crisis

At a shareholder meeting Wednesday, the CEO refused to address workers urging the company to overhaul its climate policy

Amazon's chief executive officer, Jeff Bezos, refused to address employees demanding the company take action on the climate crisis at its annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday.

About 50 members of the group Amazon Employees for Climate Justice attended the event, representing 7,700 staffers who signed a letter publicly urging Amazon to overhaul its climate policy. Employees put forth a proposal at the meeting requesting a public report on climate change from Amazon's board of directors. The board suggested shareholders vote against it, and it was not passed.
