We, the undersigned members of the general public, customers, and advocates for fair labor practices around the world, write this petition to express our deep concern and collective disappointment regarding Amazon’s ongoing wave of layoffs and employee retrenchments.
For decades, Amazon has thrived because of the dedication, hard work, and creativity of its employees — the very people who made the company a global leader in technology, logistics, and innovation. Yet, in recent months, we have witnessed widespread job cuts affecting thousands of these workers, many of whom have devoted years of service to Amazon.
These decisions are being made at a time when the company continues to generate significant revenue and maintain market dominance. To the public, this appears not as an act of financial necessity but as one of corporate convenience — prioritizing short-term profit margins over human livelihoods.
Our Concerns
Unjust Human Impact: Thousands of hardworking employees are losing their jobs without adequate alternatives or clear justification. This has devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities across the globe.
Erosion of Worker Dignity: Employees who helped build Amazon’s success deserve respect, transparency, and fair treatment — not abrupt terminations.
Public Accountability: As one of the world’s largest corporations, Amazon has a moral and social obligation to lead by example in how it treats its workforce.
Our Demands
We, the public and supporters of fair employment, demand that Amazon’s leadership:
- Immediately halt ongoing layoffs and commit to a transparent review of the retrenchment process.
- Engage openly with employees and labor representatives to discuss humane and equitable alternatives.
- Invest in worker retention and re-skilling programs to help employees transition within the company rather than being dismissed.
- Publicly reaffirm Amazon’s commitment to fair labor practices and sustainable employment policies.Our Stand
Our Stand
We stand in solidarity with Amazon employees whose livelihoods are being disrupted by these corporate actions. We believe that no company — no matter how large — should disregard the welfare of its workforce for short-term financial adjustments.
Amazon’s success has been built on the collective effort of millions of workers, from engineers and warehouse staff to delivery drivers and customer service teams. These individuals deserve fairness, respect, and security — not sudden unemployment.
We call upon Amazon’s leadership to act with empathy, integrity, and accountability. The world is watching, and so are your customers.
