Corporations such as ExxonMobil and Blackstone also big funders of climate crisis, new trade union report finds

Some of the world’s largest companies have been accused of undermining democracy across the world by financially backing far-right political movements, funding and exacerbating the climate crisis, and violating trade union rights and human rights in a report published on Monday by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

Amazon, Tesla, Meta, ExxonMobil, Blackstone, Vanguard and Glencore are the corporations included in the report. The companies’ lobbying arms are attempting to shape global policy at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on 22 and 23 September.

    Can’t hang a company. A CEO, though…

    Having said that, everyone should behave, not at all calling out for violence, but people should start pressing their governments to directly hold CEOs responsible, criminally where needed

        Uh huh, so are you okay with YOUR blood flowing, or those that are near to you?

        Because the types like you somehow always are okay with the blood of strangers flowing bit as soon as it’s their own ass on the line, it’s all excuses

          I’m not really sure how to prove this in a Lemmy comment without doxing myself, so suffice it to say that yes, I would gladly lay down my life to defend my beliefs.
