Amazon raises the salaries of Italian workers
According to what emerged in these hours, Amazon will increase the salaries of its Italian workers by 2%. This is a minimal increase, much lower than inflation, but which nonetheless represents an increase in the salary level for employees. As a result of the new agreement, the entry salary in logistics rises to 1,713 euros gross per month.
It should also be noted that, starting from next January 2023, it will pass from 5 euro meal vouchers to 7 euro meal vouchers, as an additional benefit, even in this case minimal, for employees. The company will also issue a extraordinary bonus of 500 euros usable by the end of the year through a company welfare platform.
Currently, in Italy, Amazon can count on 14 thousand employees. However, another 3,000 people are expected to be hired by the end of the year. The company, therefore, is preparing to significantly enhance its activities in our country. The increase, even if minimal, in salary certainly represents good news for the workers of the e-commerce giant in our country.
