Bidenflation: Amazon Drivers Launch Protest Demanding Higher Pay to Deal with Gas Prices

"Amazon Flex drivers and other gig economy drivers have staged a protest outside an Amazon warehouse calling for an increase in pay to deal with surging gas prices during the unprecedented inflation under President Joe Biden.

Amazon Flex drivers do not drive Amazon delivery vehicles, but rather use their personal vehicles to deliver packages. As a result, they must pay for their own gas and with prices spiking during the Biden administration, many are claiming they can no longer afford to work for the e-commerce giant.

In an attempt to offset surging gas prices, other companies like Uber and Lyft have added extra charges for customers, but many Uber drivers have stated that the added surcharge is not enough to cover the higher cost of fuel.

An Amazon spokesperson told CNBC that the e-commerce giant is “closely monitoring the situation,” stating: “We’ve already made several adjustments through pricing surges in impacted areas to help ease some of the financial challenges. As the situation evolves, we’ll continue to make changes where we can to help support our partners.” Breitbart
