If only they could collectively come together to make working conditions reasonable. And maybe they could then set up an organization that would be the stewards to the principles originally demanded; this organization could even adapt to changing work environments and technology.
Or we could just wait until it gets so bad that the media picks up on it.

Sounds like a great idea. I hear that in western Europe, esp. Germany, they even have such organizations, and it works out very well for everyone involved. Unfortunately, this just seems to be completely impossible in the US. Either you go without such an organization and you get what we see at Amazon warehouses, or you get such an organization and it's completely corrupt and dysfunctional, only really serving the people at the top of that organization.
