Anonymous Coward User ID: 77809167 United States 05/16/2020 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 'It's a slap in the face': Amazon is handing out 'Thank you' t-shirts to warehouse workers as it cuts their hazard pay [ link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] Two Amazon employees told Business Insider the company has distributed "thank-you" t-shirts to its warehouse workers (or "fulfillment associates"). One worker based in Indiana shared a picture of the shirt they received, the front reads "Thanks to you" and on the back: "Together, we'll deliver." The workers said the t-shirts were distributed last week, when they were placed in a room and workers had to go in to pick the size they wanted. The token comes as Amazon announced it would be cutting the $2 per hour wage hike it brought in for staff in mid-March as hazard pay for coming in during the pandemic. The workers BI spoke to aren't particularly happy about the trade-off. "With states opening up and over 21 cases at our warehouse so far and at least one death at the Indianapolis warehouse, it's a slap in the face," one said. |
