I noticed it didnt say shoppers. This may just affect the warehouse people

Well if Biden’s federal minimum wage goes into effect, we can expect our wage to go up to a minimum of $21 in order for Amazon to stay competitive.

Don’t be so sure. Here in New York, minimum wage is $15 an hour, and Amazon starts at $15 an hour. After a year I was raised to $15.90, and that’s where I’ve been for another year and half thereafter.

When you got bumped to $15.90 that also became the starting wage for new shoppers in New York. In late 2019 I was offered a job in the warehouse for $15 but took the shopper job instead because it paid $15.90.

That already is happening In some states some are slowly raising the minimum wage in the next couple years so even if amazons does it

Exactly this, I’ve already seen so many people leave because many other places offer $15/hr as well. Nothing is keeping them here. These are people who have been with WF for a while and were full time.

You’d all get a notification from AtoZ tomorrow or Friday about this (the generic maybe that’s already been out for the regular warehouse workers). But yes AA shoppers are also eligible for this. Don’t tell the WF TMs tho

I was wondering are you a manager or assistant manager? You seem to consistently know credible info and make insightful comments with info about ops. It's ok if you don't want to say. Just wanted to let you know your comments are appreciated. :)

On the amazon website for us workers we are classified as customer fulfillment. Shopper is classified under fulfillment and operations when searching for a job at amazon. I’m gonna stay optimistic and hope we get a raise until we hear otherwise.
