The health insurance plan is something you'd pay $10,000-20,000 (single/family) for if it was a comparable marketplace plan (the benefits seem comparable to a Gold-tier plan) -- if you're married, that's almost equivalent to the entire yearly pay of a part-time position (I think, might be off by a bit since this is my boyfriend's job, not mine). I don't know how much premiums you have to pay for Amazon's insurance plan, but I feel pretty damn sure UPS workers are coming out ahead, since I don't think many other places are giving out health insurance plans worth that much, with no premiums, for a part-time non-specialist job.
If that's the case it's a big improvement. Still sucks they don't get health coverage from day one though.
Also still $5 an hr less than amazon non union wages lol
