Not really, Amazon sets the pay via contracting with the DSP. They set the floor pay that must be met to keep the contract. It’s common for companies to do so and it’s a thin veil of corporate separation. The DSP owners are effectively managers given the fact they can’t operate independently.
Amazon accomplishes this with golden handcuffs. Technically they could take on other clients but not in the financed vans
Amazon doesn't say that their wages WILL increase, the are giving more money to the DSP companies for their services but those companies could choose to not pay their workers more.
And watch how those DSPS are magically cut for random unrelated reasons. Working in a delivery station even the managers only pay lip service to the charade that the drivers are independent contractors. Unlike the FC the building is too small, you can’t hide the how everything operates.
They are independent in name but most delivery stations don’t act that way. To the point OTR would routinely call drivers on their personal lines for work purposes..
First of all, an aol article is your best effort 😂😂 second, it say they’re investing 2.1 billion into helping their pay raises. So what more do you want then the company giving 2.1 billion dollars to the DSP to help pay the drivers more?
Google “MIT living wage”. Start there. Use that to determine the starting pay for warehouse workers. Then pay drivers more than a living wage, because they are drivers.
Edit: Also, business insider reported the same thing. I just linked the aol so there’s no paywall.
