Seattle Amazon workers plan walkout in response to layoffs and office mandate

Employees complain about company’s return-to-office policy and slow response to the climate crisis

A group of Amazon workers upset about recent layoffs, a return-to-office mandate and the company’s environmental impact is planning a walkout at the company’s Seattle headquarters.

The protest on Wednesday comes a week after Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting and a month after a policy took effect requiring workers to return to the office three days per week.
