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.

      The comment you were replying to

      This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

      Your comment stated, “They were eroding democracy…”

      If I misread your implication, apologies, but the obvious question follows: If not Tesla, who is “they” in that context?

        I do see the confusion though, now.
