USA Today: Amazon ups minimum wage to $15 for all full, part-time and seasonal employees
The company had recently been the target of criticism from Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont, who said Amazon doesn’t pay its lower-level employees a fair wage.
This could be a game changer, not just for Amazon but for companies all over the country. Amazon announces in addition to its own employees getting a big pay bump, the company will also lobby for an increase in the federal minimum wage.
