As Amazon workers across the United States launched a campaign demanding at least $25 an hour, the e-commerce giant announced Wednesday that it is raising hourly pay for its warehouse workers and drivers. In what Amazon vice president of worldwide operations Udit Madan called the company's 'biggest-ever investment in pay and benefits,' the average starting pay for U.S. fulfillment and transportation workers will rise starting this month.
'With over 800 worker signatures on our petition and new workers joining us from across the region, together we will win the $25 an hour that we all deserve.' According to the campaign: Research suggests working families need at least $25 to make it by. In Missouri, for example, a livable wage for a family of four is at least $25; in New York, the livable wage is even higher, at $39.
