The article indicates the basic wage is one penny over minimum wage.
- nkurz 13y agoYou are correct about the article, but the OP's "we" refers the distribution center that he works for, which is not run by Amazon. Presumably it is located somewhere there are other job possibilities, and thus has to pay a premium to attract workers.
- EliRivers 13y agoI'd prefer to think that it's not driven by the dehumanising worship of the great God market, but instead by not wanting to treat humans as fungible cattle. Unlikely, but if we don't dream we won't rise.
