Amazon is raising its delivery drivers’ pay and adding more work benefits to some delivery drivers after workers protested earlier this year while fuel prices soared.
Amazon has said it will invest $450 million into rate increases, an education program and a 401(k) program for US-based Delivery Service Partners.
“Through the DSP program, small businesses around the world have generated over $26 billion in revenue for their companies since launching four years ago,” Amazon VP Parisa Sadrzadeh wrote in a statement.
