Employees are calling for Larry Ellison to cancel a planned fundraiser for President Trump's 2020 campaign.

Petitioners want Ellison, currently Oracle's chief technology officer, to cancel Wednesday's event. They say that Trump's behavior isn't in line with Oracle's values.

One such value is opposition to corruption and bribery; the petition points to"Ellison's financial support of Donald Trump endangers the well-being of women, immigrants, communities of color, the environment, LGBTQ and trans communities, disabled people, and workers everywhere," the petition states. "Additionally, his alliance with this ignoble and destructive figure damages our company culture as well as our relationships with partners and customers.

“Between 2008 and 2019, Oracle's total employee number has grown substantially, increasing from around 84,000 to 136,000”...therefore, only 1.69% are protesting the event...good job CNBC!

Anyone who says fire them has no idea what the flag really means.

Free country.

This guy is either the same as him or not very smart... now which one is it?!

Gotta say, he's not doing a bad job increasing the value of their stock. But SJWs will be SJW.

They are nothing but 'worshipers' of money ! Icluding trump they covet money ! a huge sin !

Fire their butts. Work or leave.

his business, his money, his decision, his property. sounds to me like bullying!

This I don’t understand ... look where oracle stock was in 2016 and where it is in 2020 ... also check your retirement portfolio and join me and everyone invested in stock market and fight for realDonaldTrump to be re-elected as POTUS and keep the AmericaFirst WhiteHouse

This kind of headline is why I don't respect journalism anymore.

they should protest that the product they sell is trash too

That was only a matter of time, id fire them all. It isnt like its a good company anyway. They have to buy into every market they are in cuz they have no vision/talent

Anyone can sign that petition, you dumbasses. Do ye know how a petition works?

WTF larryellison ? Stop this BS supporting Trump. We thought you're better than this.

Fire 'em! Hire some new people.

Larry Ellison has the freedom and right to support whomever he likes.

The nice thing about being in America is they have that right to protest, at the same time Larry has the right to support as the owner of his company, any political person he likes! This is what makes America, truly American!

Out of how many employees? Answer: ~65,000
