Amazon raises its minimum wage to $15 an hour

[browned out]

Come on ups and you piece of garbage lying corrupt Hoffa Teamsters. Amazon leads and we follow yet again. $15 an hour and catch up raises for all UPS part-timers.

 

[TearsInRain]

RIP our inside staffing

but hey at least we took care of FT pensions in this contract!

 

[Yolo]

Hey should I take a seasonal job at Amazon for $15/hr or should I take one at UPS for $13 minus Union Dues and initiation fees?

That’s what 22.4s are for

Plus health insurance from day one and two weeks vacation in year two.

Think of what those employees would be making if the Teamster's represented them...

Less?

 

[Rick Ross]

Less?

Of course not.

Teamsters have negotiated $15.50 for 2022. That's higher than the $15 Amazon is gonna pay right now.

Gotta play the long game.

$.50 for:

• more harassment
• harder work
• stupid shoe requirements
• worse facilities
• dues eviscerating their pay check for a contract negotiation run by Neville Chamberlains best men

Amazon raises minimum wage to $15 for all US employees 

There is still time for any PTers who voted yes to change their vote to NO. Demand $15 an hour. You are working much harder for less money than the Amazon worker.

$15 starting wage is a no brainer. Wouldn't even consider it a concession.

If you are going to just work seasonal, Amazon. Long term, UPS

Many places that have Amazon distribution centers, UPS is hiring off the street for Package and Feeders. Even if someone would take the $13 to start PT at UPS, how many opportunities would there be for that same person to be making $34/hr or $40/hr in 5 years at Amazon??

None, unless you are in some kind of skilled specialty or management

Of course. You don't want a grievance war with me when I go driving. Lol

Thank god! Most loaders seem to not be able to recognize sequential numbers? A lot of the Uber to work as well here. Imagine them behind the wheel?
