The news comes after Amazon announced it is bumping its average starting pay for warehouse and delivery workers to over $19 an hour, an increase from $18 an hour.
But if you are not based in the US, don’t count yourself out.
Amazon’s announcement comes as the retail giant has been accelerating its UK hiring over the past few years, with this move set to bring its permanent UK workforce to 70,000.
Amazon said the move will make it one of the UK’s largest private sector employers, joining the likes of John Lewis and Alliance Boots, and exceeding the numbers employed by the British army.
However, the move comes as many of the retail giant’s workers are unhappy about their conditions.
Amazon employees based in New York City formed the first union in the company’s history in July 2022, and German workers organized walkouts in seven distribution centers in May.
In August, there was a walkout in Amazon’s largest UK distribution center in Tilbury, with workers allegeding it was failing to address cost-of-living issues.
However, some US Amazon workers are set to now receive additional perks, including signing bouses ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 in select locations.
