<p>The workers are also calling for &#8220;zero contracts to enable or accelerate the extraction of fossil fuels,&#8221; linking to a <a href="https://gizmodo.com/how-google-microsoft-and-big-tech-are-automating-the-1832790799"><em>Gizmodo</em></a> piece pointing out that the tech giant provides automation, cloud and AI services to some of the biggest oil companies in the world. Next, the workers want a plan that provides &#8220;zero funding for climate-denying or -delaying think tanks, lobbyists and politician.&#8221; A report published by <em>The Guardian</em> in October <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/11/report-google-climate-change-deniers-contributions/">details</a> Google&#8217;s &#8220;substantial&#8221; contributions to climate change deniers. The recipients reportedly include the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), which was instrumental in getting the administration to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017/06/01/trump-withdraws-us-paris-agreement/">withdraw</a> from the Paris climate change agreement.</p>
<p>Finally, the workers are demanding a strategy that has &#8220;zero collaboration with entities enabling the incarceration, surveillance, displacement, or oppression of refugees or frontline communities.&#8221; These demands, they said, were set by workers across the industry. Amazon workers <a href="https://medium.com/@amazonemployeesclimatejustice/public-letter-to-jeff-bezos-and-the-amazon-board-of-directors-82a8405f5e38">published</a> an open letter with similar conditions back in April, which also called for the e-commerce giant to do better when it comes to climate-related issues. </p>
<p>The Google workers closed their letter with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Google is a global company with billions of users across the world, many of whom are already bearing the brunt of climate disaster. Google&#8217;s code of conduct requires respect for users and for opportunities. As Google workers, we are committed to putting our users first, and Google must do the same.&#8221;</p>
