Does your pension fund invest in Amazon?
Unless they hear from you, your pension fund is going to keep voting however they want with your savings. If customers call their pension funds about this resolution, those firms will have no choice but to listen.
Now's the time to tell them to vote for our resolution demanding that Amazon do better on workers' rights.
Can you make a call? It's quick and easy. Here's how:
- Find the number of your pension fund.
- Once you get through (even if it's voicemail), ask your pension fund to vote FOR a human rights risk assessment at Amazon's annual general meeting on May 17, 2016. Use this script, or your own words (the more personal, the better).
Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m an investor in your fund. I want you to vote FOR agenda Item 4 at the Amazon annual general meeting on May 17.
I am concerned that Amazon is not properly managing human rights risks and I want you to support this call for a risk assessment. Please call me back at [your number] and tell me what you plan to do. Thank you.
And finally, don't forget to let us know how it went!
