Resolved: Shareholders urge the Board of Directors to commission an independent, third-party assessment of Amazon's adherence to its stated commitment to workers' freedom of association and collective bargaining rights as outlined in Amazon's Global Human Rights Principles, which explicitly reference the Core Conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The assessment should address any instances of management interference when employees exercise their right to form or join a trade union in Amazon's global operations as well as steps to remedy any practices inconsistent with Amazon's stated commitments. The assessment, prepared at reasonable expense and omitting confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, should be publicly disclosed on Amazon's website by November 30, 2025. Supporting Statement: Amazon states, "we respect and support the Core Conventions of the International Labor Organization and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work" and says it respects workers' right to join or form a union "without fear of reprisal, intimidation, or harassment"1 an important recognition that the fulfilment of these rights is conditioned by how employers choose to respond to union organizing efforts. For years, Amazon has faced global negative media coverage,2,3 accusing the company of interfering with workers' exercise of their rights through anti-unionization tactics,4 including allegations of intimidation, 5 retaliation6 and surveillance7. In Europe, Amazon has faced multiple conflicts over labor relations in France,8 the UK,9 and Germany.10 U.S. regulator and courts have ruled against Amazon repeatedly over labor relations cases.11,12,13 In 2024, an National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Administrative Law Judge found that some public comments made by Amazon CEO interfered with employees' exercise of their rights and thereby engaged in unfair labor practices {ULP).14,15,16 In November 2024, the NLRB also ruled that captive audience meetings such as the "mandatory meetings" held by Amazon were unlawful and found that Amazon engaged in unfair labor practices by threatening to withhold employee improvements in wages and benefits if workers unionized.17,18 In 2024, 171 unfair labor practices charges have been filed against Amazon19, 135 of which NLRB deems open as of December 3, 2024. The apparent misalignment between Amazon's commitment and its reported conduct represents reputational and operational risks that may negatively impact Amazon's long-term performance. Other companies, such as Apple and Starbucks, have completed independent assessments of their adherence to their commitments to workers' freedom of association and collective bargaining rights.20 A similar independent assessment would help investors assess Amazon's adherence to its human rights commitments. 1  https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/governance/amazon-global-human-rights-principles 'https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/16/technology/amazon-unions-virginia.html https://novaramedia.com/2022/1 0/18/inside-the-fight-for-the-uks-first-formal-amazon-warehouse-strike/; https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/sep/30/trade-unions-urge-eu-to-investigate-amazon-effort-to-spy-on-workers 4  https://pressprogress.ca/amazons-anti-unlon-tactics-around-the-world-show-what-canadian-warehouse-workers-are-up-against/ 5   https://nypost.com/2021/04/19/amazon-used-illegal-intimidation-tactics-in-ala-vote-union/ 6 https://www.nbcnews.c.om/buslness/business-news/fired-interrogated-dlsciplined-amazon-warehouse-organizers-allege-year-retaliation-n1262367 7    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/24/how-amazon-prevents-unions-by-surveilllng-employee-actlvism.html 8  https://www,lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/04/06/les-craintes-sur-le-pouvoir-d-achat-nourrissent-la-mobilisatlon-de-salaries-d-amazon­france 6120930 3234,html 9  https1/www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/08/gmb-accuses-amazon-union-busting-tactics-midlands-warehouses 10  https:J/www.reuters.com/business/retall-consumer/german-union-verdi-calls-strikes-amazon-black-friday-2023-11-23/ 11   https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/amazon-must-face-third-union-election-alabama-warehouse-nlrb-judge-rules-2024-11-06/ 12   https://www.nytimes.com(2022/04/18/buslness/amazon-protest-firing-ruling.html 13  https://www.nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-story/nlrb-reglon-29-wins-federal-court-order-requiring-amazon-to-cease-and 14 https://apps.nlrb.gov/llnk/document.asp 09031d4583d193b2 15    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/02/amazon-ceo-union-labor-law-ruling 16 Amazon filed an exception: https://www.nlrb.gov/case/19·CA-297441 17  https://www  .reuters.com/technology/us-labor-board-bans-mandatory-anti-union-meetings-ruling-against-amazon-2024-11-13I;  https://www .nlrb.gov/news­ outreach/news-story/board-rules-captive-audience-meetings-unlawful 18 Amazon filed a petition for review: https://www.nlrb.gov/case/29-CA-280153 19  https://www.nlrb.gov/search/case/Amazon,com%20Services%20LLC?date_start=01%2F01%2F2024&date_end=12%2F31%2F2024 20  https://s2.q4cdn.com/470004039/filesldoc_downloads/2023/apple-workers-rights-assessment-december-2023.pdf; https://stories.starbucks.com/uploads/2023/12/Abridged-GHRS-Report.pdf
