Amazon employees upset over the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade asked the company for “space and time” to “grieve” and “protest against this assault on our rights,” according to a leaked letter.
The petition was reportedly signed by hundreds of employees at the Seattle-based retail giant, according to Insider. A copy of the petition was posted online by the Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.”
The letter also demands that Amazon “cease operations in states that enact laws that threaten the lives and liberty of abortion seekers, either by denying healthcare in life threatening circumstances or by criminalizing abortion seekers and providers.”
Amazon’s human resources chief Beth Galetti on Friday implored workers to “be respectful of everyone’s perspectives” after arguments over abortion broke out on the company’s Slack platform. The fights reportedly erupted in the #christians channel, according to Insider.
“Many Amazonians are experiencing strong emotions following the recent US Supreme Court ruling,” Galetti wrote on Friday.
“As a company with 1.6 million employees, there are a lot of different viewpoints on this topic across our team, and we work to be respectful of everyone’s perspectives while also taking care of and supporting our employees’ personal medical needs.”

America isn’t a serious country anymore. I pity the future of this landmass filled with ignoramuses and nincompoops.
A country like this cannot survive for long because of the quality of people occupying it.
This is what happens when an entire generation was never told NO.
We’re sorry these weirdo baby killing worker’s parents didn’t have abortions....
Media pulling out all the stops on this one
What a bunch of whiny crybabies! Has nobody ever told these people NO?
This would be laughable if it weren't' true.
I heard Steve Bannon mention something I had not thought of: Of course organizations like Amazon are offering to pay for up to $4000 for travel to a place where their employees can get an abortion.
Cheaper than paying for 3 months maternity leave for both men and women.
Astonishing.
Yeah, with real fire.
Go woke...GO BROKE!
The USA is no longer a country in the classic sense of the word. It is more of a free trade globalist economic zone of North America. Or better said: The NAEZ - North American Economic Zone.
Not even a good or viable one at that.
Participation trophy generation.
Snowflakes.
Immature.
Weak-minded.
Queer.
I am so thankful I grew up when I did. I
It does make it hard to watch, though.
How about granting time off for people who want to celebrate the decision?
