Right, for someone who sits behind a keyboard all day, working on your feet in a warehouse packing boxes, in a kitchen cooking burgers, or outside hauling lumber around a construction site in the rain, sounds like horrible work.
If Amazon warehouses were that bad, people wouldn't work there. I'm sure people get hurt, it's physical work. It's not a job you're going to enjoy if, like most adults, you are overweight and out of shape.
Not just in California but media today dramatize everything to get readers. The goal of almost any news story is to "go viral" to get clicks/views.

I can think of countless examples of workers that accept from sub-optimal conditions to outright modern slavery simply because they can't find an exit to the system of cheap labor exploitation. Maybe this can be scoped down to some developed countries or some cities in developed countries, but certainly doesn't hold true for most developing countries and certainly not for past history in basically anywhere.

Swear to God if Kim Jong Un somehow managed a hostile takeover of America or my country - then forced us all to do calisthenics each morning - sure it'd start horribly but by the end of the month we'd be singing the praises of Our Dear Leader.
