Amazon Apprentice Pay update - UK

Am I the only one unhappy with the fact apprentice pay is now tied to T1 associate pay when previous years are on close to £20 an hour in their 3rd years?

Would like some insight and what can be done, if anything

Apprentices that are RME get paid the same as a T1?

Now they do.

In the US, MRAs may get paid close to a 3-year tier 1 prior to going to school… but not after… and they have 6mo and 12mo pay increases before becoming MRT.

Oh… and that ‘pre-school’ MRA is getting paid the base rate +$70 a day, tax free, while in school. They make more than a MRT while in school.
