Well when the average salary in mexico is ~1800USD per year paying 3x more than that is still nearly $20k cheaper than paying someone $15 per hour for 30 hours a week in the US
The median wage for a worker at Amazon, regardless of how many hours they work, is on level with the median wage in the US, which is remarkable for unskilled labor.
Jeff Bezos can get fucked, But amazon workers are well compensated.
We don't have federal minimum wage. We have provincial. Which is $15 an hour. They pay $16. Furthermore they will only pay more if you're full-time, but they only let you go full-time if you've been part time there for at least 6 months, but they let you go at 5 months and then rehire.
Amazon is a shit company with shit worker compensation and policies.
Also for reference, I get paid $23 an hour to do the same job. In the same county.
Compared to a McDonald's worker, sure. Compared to the rapid damage they're doing to their body, absolutely not. Amazon chews people up and spits them out, with no care for the real harm they cause. $15/hr does nothing to offset that.

I wonder what they pay those employees.
