Are warehouse workers getting paid $50k/year?

EDIT: For comparison, 50k USD is approximately 65k CAD, which makes higher than the median starting salary for a mechanical/electrical engineer in Canada. I would be surprised if they are paying their lowest-paid employees that much.

A lot of Amazon employees make a lot less than $50K. You think $200/month wouldn't make a difference to someone who can't afford food?

A billionaire's philanthropic bribe should not replace fair compensation.

And for a lot of families that is the difference between a staycation and Disneyland. Don’t underestimate how much an unexpected infusion of cash helps people that are near paycheck to paycheck.
