Amazon announced plans to raise hourly wages for its U.S. fulfillment and transportation employees by at least $1.50, bringing base pay to over $22 an hour. The company also aims to spend more than $2.2 billion on these increases and will provide free Prime memberships as benefits. This move follows growing pressure from workers for better pay and conditions, particularly after the formation of the Amazon Labor Union. The wage hikes will begin this month, aiming to aid recruitment and retention ahead of the holiday season.
