What is the overall reaction to the Amazon $15 minimum wage?
Strategic announcement for recruiting purposes in FC's which I'm sure are expecting to have a hell of a time ramping up for Holiday peak in a tight labor market. Also should quiet Bernie for now, which is important when millions of your customers are Bernie bros.
Good point, we are right before peak and do hire (over 100,000 for this season). But if so, this could have been achieved with a higher temp wage, since it is would be a short term impact. I do think it has the most to do with the Bernie movement. Bernie pushed often on "living wage" and has been an advocate of $15 minimum wage, during his presidential campaign. Overall, I agree with the rate change.
Paying temps $15 per hour while your own blue badges make less would be a bad strategy.
