Amazon is set to increase the average pay for its delivery drivers to nearly $22 per hour in 2024, following threats of unionization. The company announced a $2.1 billion investment into its Delivery Service Partner program, which includes $660 million allocated specifically for raising driver pay by 7% from the previous year. This investment will also support safety, training, and additional pay for contracting firms. The move, reported by WSJ, is seen as a response to growing labor pressures and aims to improve working conditions for Amazon's delivery workforce.
