SEATTLE — Telling executives to “strive harder,” hundreds of corporate Amazon workers protested what they decried as the company’s lack of progress on climate goals and an inequitable return-to-office mandate during a lunchtime demonstration at its Seattle headquarters Wednesday. The protest came a week after Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting and a month after a policy took effect returning workersto the office three days per week. Previously, team leaders were allowed to determine how their charges worked. The employees chanted their disappointment with the pace of the company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint — “Emissions climbing, time to act” — and urged Amazon to return authority to team leaders when it comes to work location. Wearing a black pirate hat and red coat, Church Hindley, a quality assurance engineer, said working from home allowed him to live a better, healthier life. “I’m out here because I refuse to just sit idly by while mandates are dictated from above down that don’t make sense and hurt the planet, hurt families and individual lives,” Hindley said. “And just to get us into a seat at the office for their tax incentives.” Ina statement, Amazon said it supported workers expressing opinions. As of Wednesday morning, organizers estimated more than 1,900 employees pledged to walk out around the world, with about 900 in Seattle. Many participated remotely, but hundreds gathered atthe Amazon Spheres— a four-story structure in downtown Seattle that fr...

David Wallace, The Republic | azcentral.com Amazon's new 1.2 million-square-foot facility, its largest distribution center in the nation , will create more than 800 jobs to the east Valley. The "storage and distribution center," the first of its kind in the state, will have its grand opening Friday, and promises to make remote shopping a little easier for people throughout metro Phoenix. The facility, focused on housing third-party businesses’ stock items sold on Amazon’s website, is located along Elliot and Hawes roads in Mesa. Rodney Huffman, the general manager of the center, has worked for Amazon for more than a decade and has seen how the company’s presence has grown in metro Phoenix and more specifically on the west side of Maricopa County. As a longtime resident of the east Valley, he’s looking forward to building Amazon’s presence there. He knew Amazon’s growth would reach Mesa because of the investment happening around Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Large centers like this new one need to build from the ground up in undeveloped areas to accommodate the scope of work and storage, Huffman said. The center has started operations but likely won’t be fully operational until August when hiring is done. Jobs at new facility: Huffman said he’s in the middle of a hiring blitz to fill the 800 to 900 jobs that are available. At full capacity, the center could employ up to 1,300 workers. The average pay will range from $15 to $21 an hour, depending on experience and shift. A l...
