phalse phace writes: Following the termination of Chris Smalls for leading a warehouse strike over poor coronavirus safety conditions, Amazon has fired two more employees who were outspoken critics of the company's climate policies and who had denounced worker conditions at its warehouses as unsafe during the coronavirus pandemic. From a report: User experience designers Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, both active members of the advocacy group Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, had reportedly offered match donations up to $500 for warehouse workers, citing insufficient protections. The company confirmed the firings in a statement emailed to CNET.

"We terminated these employees for repeatedly violating internal policies."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
