Why don't the workers unionize? Oh, because Amazon is run by a bunch of amoral people. The leadership is inhumane. https://gizmodo.com/amazons-aggressive-anti-

  Unionizing is the solution to unfair leadership. If the workers are hard to replace, then forming a union will probably work. If they're easy to replace, then they're getting precisely what their labor is worth. Since the wage seems to be higher than minimum wage, there's obviously some value in keeping them, which means a strike may work. Unemployment is very low right now, so I'm sure there are plenty of other jobs available. The fact that people continue to work for Amazon suggests that quitting is worse than continuing to show up at work, so I'm really not sure what people expect. I'm guessing it's just that Amazon is seen as a tech company and therefore is expected to treat their warehouse workers closer to tech employees than warehouse employees?
