Amazon probably does not dictate pay directly. They just put in the contract that all workers must make X and get health insurance.

- nonfamous 5y agoApparently they do, and it includes the power to lower pay: > In April, Amazon announced it would reduce the amount it paid for drivers from $17.25 to $16.00 an hour, according to the letter. When what Amazon pays doesn’t cover the statutory minimums, the contract delivery companies have to make up the difference.
- MattGaiser 5y agoBut is that a case of them dictating pay or just changing the formula for how they pay delivery companies? If I tell IBM that I am not paying $100 an hour for their crappy consultants and will only pay $20, I still don't employ their consultant. > In April, Amazon announced it would reduce the amount it paid for drivers from $17.25 to $16.00 an hour, according to the letter. This meant Amazon delivery companies were paying even more for drivers' wages. To me, it just seems to be a reimbursement rate, not what the driver actually makes.
