Amazon also said its public policy team will begin lobbying for an increase in the federal minimum wage, which has been $7.25 an hour since 2009.


Pay your people what you want, but keep your nose out of what other companies do. Is that too hard a concept?


Yeah they are only doing this as they bank on their competitors to be forced to come up to their level. It'll be a 2020 election talking point. If Trump wins again, and min wage doesnt go up then see Amazon retracting back some on their rates.

I actually thought that min wage was good to go when it was changed yrs ago?!?!

I don't know where all their facilities are, but some states are above $7.25. Are you going to pay everyone the same or are you also going to increase wages the same percent for people that were already above it.

Hey Bill, you were making $11.75. now you will make $15. Jon was making $7.25 as an entry level, now he's going to make the same $15 an hour.
