But is that a case of them dictating pay or just changing the formula for how they pay delivery companies?
If I tell IBM that I am not paying $100 an hour for their crappy consultants and will only pay $20, I still don't employ their consultant.
> In April, Amazon announced it would reduce the amount it paid for drivers from $17.25 to $16.00 an hour, according to the letter. This meant Amazon delivery companies were paying even more for drivers' wages.
To me, it just seems to be a reimbursement rate, not what the driver actually makes.
