FTC Returns Nearly $60 Million to Drivers Whose Tips Were Illegally Withheld by Amazon

In 2021, the FTC brought a suit alleging that Amazon failed to fully pay tips that drivers in its Amazon Flex program had earned. Amazon agreed to settle the case and surrender all the money it withheld from its drivers. The FTC is now sending out that nearly $60 million to more than 140,000 Amazon drivers.
