ALL WAREHOUSES SHOULD PAY $15+/HR !!!!

    I am a warehouse associate who left Amazon 4 months ago to work at a location that was closer to where i live in Texas. BOTH jobs were paying $12-$12.50/hr. When I was at Amazon, me and other co-workers all felt that we did more work than we were getting paid for. 10hrs a day, body being sore, waking up in the middle of the night from your hands aching, only to come home with $700-$800(after taxes) bi-weekly. After you pay rent and car note you're COMPLETELY broke. That's if you have a roommate which most of us did. We were all grown and some of us are over 30 years old and we still need a roommate to help pay rent!! Its like either get a roommate or get married. That's the option because you can't do it by yourself. You'll be needing some government assistance. Why should we work jobs where we can physically hurt ourselves and still not make enough to live??? When people that sit behind desks all day get paid more just to answer the phone. Our backs are slowly breaking down and we can barely afford a massage to fix it. There is no life outside of paying bills. That's all you have enough to do. They pinch on your time and you can't call in sick unless you have time. As a result i haven't seen my family in 3 years because they stay in another state and I get so tired at times that I use my time just to get a break! So imagine my disappointment when everyone who left Amazon to find better, hears that Amazon raises the pay to $15-$16/hr !!!!!
    THIS IS NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE WHO SPEND 10HRS ON THEIR FEET IN A HOT WAREHOUSE LOADING TRUCKS PICKING UP HEAVY BOXES, INJURING OURSELVES JUST FOR $12!!!! RAISE OUR PAY!!!!!
