What happened
Result: Filed for the 2022 proxy season and announced in December 2021, with United Church Funds as lead proponent, asking Amazon to establish paid sick leave for all employees. It did not reach the ballot: Amazon's certified Item 5.07 report for the May 25, 2022 annual meeting lists the fifteen shareholder proposals voted on and no paid sick leave proposal is among them. Whether it was withdrawn or omitted is not settled by the documents opened.
No company-wide paid sick leave policy at Amazon attributable to this proposal was found in the sources opened.
