Amazon Corp Workers To Stage Walkout

USA – Nearly 2,000 corporate workers at Amazon have pledged to walk off the job on Wednesday to signal a “Lack of trust” in the company’s leadership.

In an email Tuesday evening, organizers of the walkout said more than 1,800 employees have committed to participating to call attention to employee frustrations on multiple fronts, including the company’s push to get workers in the office at least three days a week.

The protest comes after Amazon cut tens of thousands of jobs beginning late last year amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

Amazon has said this year that it is laying off some 27,000 workers over multiple rounds of cuts.
