That's getting needless sticky about definitions, and harming understanding of the point, potentially leading people to think that these Amazon workers are going to get their raises, which they clearly won't.

Let me be more concrete: am employer presenting you with a plan for future compensation[1] in an existing employment relationship does not constitute a contract. They can pay you what they want to pay you.

[1] Your back wages argument doesn't apply here. These people never got paid at all.

None of which has anything to do with at-will employment. Since you do appear to have a good understanding of the situation, this leads me to the only possible conclusion that you were deliberately spreading disinformation about at will employment for some purpose.
