The Verge
Three Amazon employees claim the company is threatening to fire them for testifying in favor of local data center regulations.

Summary

Three Amazon software engineers, members of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, are facing potential termination after testifying at Seattle City Council hearings regarding data center regulations. The employees allege that Amazon's "Employee Relations" team initiated investigations into their conduct as retaliation for their public support of a moratorium on large-scale data centers. Legal counsel for the employees argues that these actions violate Seattle laws prohibiting discrimination based on political speech or organizational affiliation.
