Amazon announces wage increase for hourly warehouse workers

Amazon.com Inc. is raising the hourly wage of its warehouse workers by at least $1.50 per hour and adding Prime memberships to its benefits package.

The pay increases will go into effect this month for the hundreds of thousands of workers who work for Amazon’s sprawling logistics operation, bringing the average base wage to more than $22 an hour, the company said in a blog post Wednesday.

Employees will get Prime, Amazon’s fast delivery and video subscription service, starting “early next year,” the company said.
