Does anyone want to do more work than me? Because I’d be curious who counts as an “employee”, but not so curious as to dig.
Like, are all of the people who pick things at warehouses employees, or just a select few? Drivers, etc?

That’s my assumption, but I have no data. And so I assume that the people that people think of when they think of “amazon employee” are actually not helped by this change.

It includes warehouse employees, at least.

Are all the people who are in the warehouse employees? Are they all “full time” or whatever class of employee gets the new perks?

As far as I'm aware, in the warehouse, yes. And they just got there pay boosted to minimum $20 per hour.

Then that’s good news!
