Amazon is investing $2.1 billion to increase delivery drivers' pay, raising it to nearly $22 per hour, amid renewed unionization efforts among workers.
The investment includes $660 million specifically for rate card increases and bonuses, marking the largest investment in the Delivery Service Partner program since 2018.
Though the pay raise averages 7%, the exact increase varies by location, emphasizing Amazon's approach to flexible compensation based on local market conditions.
Due to scrutiny from the National Labor Relations Board, Amazon is now considered a joint employer of drivers at two subcontracted delivery companies, spotlighting ongoing labor relations issues.
