> “We support every employee’s right to criticize their employer’s working conditions,” a spokesperson said, “but that does not come with blanket immunity against any and all internal policies.”

What a strange statement. "We support their right to criticize their working conditions, only actually we don't at all"

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects employees rights, and Google had to settle with the NLRB on precisely this issue. There is one little difference, I am not a lawyer so I don't know if it is crucial for Amazon or not: in this case the fired employees were protesting other employees' working conditions, not their own.

The NLRA protects workers seeking "mutual aid and protection". This is very clearly covered.
