Amazon: We want LIVING wages!
The minimum wage for fast-food workers in California is now $20, which is great for them. And places like Amazon can and should pay workers a living wage.
California is the third-most expensive state in the country to live in. The skyrocketing cost of living in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco makes it even higher there. It’s so bad that United Ways of California’s calculations show that 34% of the state’s families lack enough income to meet basic living costs!
Fast-food workers led an incredible campaign to get a $20 minimum wage, and their victory is an inspiration to fight for a living wage for all people who work in California. In 2023, Amazon had a net income of $30.4 billion dollars. Why are essential workers still struggling to make ends meet? Jeff Bezos is the second-richest person in the entire world.
Why is this important?
Right now Californians are facing record rents and house prices AND paying more for their weekly groceries than any other state! Minimum wage workers are on the frontlines of this crisis, and warehouse, retail, school staff, and child-care workers are some of those making the lowest wages in California.
Workers just can’t afford to survive like this. Why are essential workers the poorest? DO better Amazon!
