Amazon employees file civil rights complaint over company probe into data center testimony

GeekWire File Photo An employee group filed a civil rights complaint against Amazon with the City of Seattle on Thursday on behalf of three engineers who allege that the company is wrongly investigating them for testifying before the Seattle City Council in favor of regulating data centers. The complaint, filed by Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ), invokes an unusual Seattle law that bars employers from discriminating against workers based on political ideology.
