Amazon employees of all genders demand time off to grieve the end of Roe v. Wade and want the company to stop operating in pro-life states, according to the Libs of TikTok..The Libs of TikTok was given an open letter from Amazon employees who want more action because of the loss of their “basic human rights.”.“As part of Amazon’s wide-reaching efforts toward a more inclusive and diverse workforce, we believe that Amazon cannot let this recent decision go unanswered,” said the letter. .“We ask Amazon, the world’s best employer, to actively defend against this assault on our liberty.”.The employees want Amazon to “allow employees of all genders the space and time to grieve, express their frustrations, and protest against this assault on our rights.”.They are demanding the company “donate and match donations to bail funds” for “women and pregnant people” in states with strict abortion laws..Amazon would not be the first company to pay bail for protesters..Patagonia told its employees that they would pay bail for employees who “peacefully protest” against the Roe v. Wade decision..Among other demands, the employees want “expanded remote work options” for anyone who wants to move..Republican-controlled states such as Texas and Florida have 95,000 and 59,000 employees respectively, and Democrat-controlled California has 170,000 employees.. The employees want the company to “audit and remove product offerings” that “misrepresent” abortion and “encourage hate speech or violence” toward pro-abortion supporters..For states with pro-life laws, the employees want Amazon to “cease operations in [those] states” even though there is substantial “business risk” in doing so..They argue “these are unprecedented times” that warrant such extreme actions..“Given the attacks on our democracy, and the continued deterioration of our rights, we believe the time to act is now,” the employees concluded..Last month, Amazon said it would help employees seeking abortions with up to $4,000 in travel expenses.
