Hundreds of employees are openly criticizing Amazon’s record on climate change despite a company policy that puts their jobs at risk for speaking out.

More than 300 employees of the online retail giant signed their names and job titles to statements on a blog post on Medium.

The online protest was organized by the group Amazon Employees For Climate Justice, an advocacy group founded by Amazon workers earlier this month said the company had sent letters to the members threatening to fire them if they continued to speak to the press.
