Re:Amazon raises minimum wage to $15 for all US employees by whatshisface on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @09:59AM (#18121681)
If this is to be interpreted as evidence that the workers have bargaining power, it is only the first step in a progression of improving conditions (because now they're able to negotiate.) If it's just PR-driven serendipity then it might even be accompanied by worsening conditions elsewhere. This seems reasonable because people are a lot more reliable at fighting for their own interests than they are at considering the interests of others.
