Amazon is giving out more than $500 million as a "Thank You bonus" to front-line workers who were with the company throughout the month of June, a move that comes after the e-commerce giant eliminated a $2 hourly wage bump and double overtime pay for frontline workers at the end of May.
亞馬遜要給六月份堅(jiān)守在公司的一線員工發(fā)放“感謝獎(jiǎng)金”,總額超過5億美元。這家電商巨頭公司在采取這一措施之前,在五月末取消了一線工人每小時(shí)2美元的加薪和雙倍加班費(fèi)。

"Our front-line operations teams have been on an incredible journey over the last few months, and we want to show our appreciation with a special one-time Thank You bonus totaling over $500 million," said Amazon (AMZN) senior vice president of worldwide operations Dave Clark in a note about the bonuses.

Amazon has seen soaring demand during the pandemic as people stay home and look to its products and services as a lifeline for household essentials. But it has also become the subject of increased scrutiny concerning the workplace conditions of its warehouses, which include 110 fulfillment centers across North America with 400,000 employees. The company has also been criticized for not providing enough information about the true impact of the public heath crisis on its workers. There have been at least 10 deaths among its warehouse employees who have tested positive for coronavirus.
疫情期間亞馬遜的業(yè)務(wù)激增,人們待在家中,把它的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)看作是家庭生活必需品的生命線,但倉庫的工作條件受到的審查也在增多,亞馬遜在北美共有110個(gè)物流中心,員工400,000人。該公司也一直因?yàn)闆]有明確說明這場公共健康危機(jī)對員工的影響而飽受批評。在新冠病毒檢測結(jié)果為陽性的倉庫員工中至少有10人死亡。
