Forgive my negative Nancy proclivities, but @facebook will take over a year to raise wages on contractors a few bucks?

+they are STILL contractors, 2nd class citizens in the tech economy.
+content moderators see horrible shit...this doesn’t give them health insurance. https://t.co/grZCCZIkJz
NEW: Facebook plans to raise the minimum wage for its U.S. contract workers, including content moderators. The current $15/hr min. wage just isn't enough to support the cost of living in SF/NY/DC, company sayshttps://t.co/5UHn7g44xW

This is another $7,200 a year for all the folks I wrote about in Phoenix. That’s a meaningful amount of money.

FWIW, Facebook is positioning this as a way to ‘reflect the local cost of living,’ not to better compensate people for workplace trauma. https://t.co/quieXGjcdH
New minimum wage for contractors at Facebook is higher than what Google pays, even after a recent raise. Contract workers organizing across the industry forces a race to the top ?https://t.co/NQ20jH2dDW

Which also raises question of why not consider regional job hubs around the country. These jobs can be done anywhere! https://t.co/7hTfhLrDeS

New: Facebook says it's hiking minimum pay for Bay Area sub-contracted staff, and giving content moderators new support https://t.co/Apt61ZVsH9 "We obviously have a deep responsibility to look after all the people who work for Facebook – with us as a partner or with us directly"

BIG NEWS: Due to pressure from workers and the community, and after being exposed in the press, Facebook has raised wages for contract workers, and is providing additional assistance to content moderators #FightFor15 https://t.co/gzhO1iBkMt pic.twitter.com/IAiddqgeXK

Facebook announces higher pay and wellness programs for their contract content moderators - in the U.S. Announcement says disappointingly little about workers in other parts of the world, just that they're working on it. Harrumph. https://t.co/SgIKfcuANT

ZOZOがアルバイト代を1300円にして話題になっている一方で（直接比較は出来ないけれど）フェイスブックの米国内のコントラクトワーカー（SF.NY/DCなどの都市部）の最低賃金は15ドルでは十分でなく、特にコンテンツ監視スタッフの時給は20〜22ドルへ、とのこと。 https://t.co/epUCOIXlUB

"Contractors Are People Too.” - Facebook is taking steps to dramatically improve how contractors are treated. This is a trend that will continue across large enterprises as they struggle to attract & retain contractors. #FutureofWork https://t.co/G4yiZIUbJE

It's good to know that our social mores, creativity and freedom of expression on Facebook were dictated by faceless minimum wage contract workers. Zuck...Couldn't we outsource this to...like...Chinese labor camps???https://t.co/Uu45fYyHMI

"Facebook is raising its minimum wage for contract workers to $20 an hour in the Bay Area, New York City and Washington, and $18 an hour in Seattle." https://t.co/22mFqRf5Be

I'm also proud of Goldman Sachs for paying the minimum wage of $200 to its managing directors in the costliest market of New York City https://t.co/hqIpb7r2O4https://t.co/WAWtMtIfiE pic.twitter.com/8wu12mKkvQ

On the political economy of digital labor and on reading the nuances of diversity in tech. A South Asian, empowered person was involved in actualizing this pay raise for FB contractors but somehow it remained limited in scope to US workers. One wonders why https://t.co/wPoTaUzwiA

Is $22/hr enough to live in the Bay? Is $18/hr enough to live in Seattle? And even if it covers cost of living, what about saving for retirement? #notenough #workersforworkers https://t.co/7xE7CSJjiy
