Amazon.com Inc said on Monday that it would spend $ 500 million in one-time bonuses for its employees and front-line partners who were going through the coronavirus crisis.
Employees and partners who worked with the e-commerce company until June will receive bonuses ranging from $ 150 to $ 3,000, the company said in a blog post.
The world‘s largest online retailer, which delivers about 10 billion items a year, has come under scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers and unions to find out if it is doing enough to protect workers from COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier in the day, workers at six Amazon sites in Germany decided to go on strike to protest security after staff at logistics centers tested positive for the coronavirus, the Verdi union said on Sunday.
