Not much of a counter strike.

Selective quotes (only because quoting the entire article would be tedious):

Quote:
The company, however, stressed that the wage increase "more than compensates" for the loss in other benefits.
Quote:
Additionally, workers affected by the change will get a chance to review the new pay structures and share any concerns they might have with the company...
Quote:
Amazon disclosed in its announcement on Tuesday that it is replacing the stock awards program with the minimum-wage increase because employees prefer the "predictability and immediacy of cash" compared with stock awards.
