Amazon has agreed to pay $61.7 million to settle allegations that it stole its Amazon Flex drivers tips over a two-and-a-half year period, the Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.
“Today, the FTC is sanctioning Amazon.com for expanding its business empire by cheating its workers,” FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra wrote in a statement. “Amazon stole nearly one-third of drivers’ tips to pad its own bottom line.”
The $61.7 million represents the total amount that Amazon allegedly withheld until it became aware of an investigation by a Federal Trade Commission in 2019.
