I'm starting to reassess my comment. On some level it's true, worker organization is absolutely key and there's no way around that. But it's also important to focus more on what you (the OP) can do. I think that as an Amazon employee, you have somewhat more attention and credibility in public perception, and strategically using your position to publicly criticize them and support worker organization efforts could be fruitful. But it might get you fired. Trying to build support for unionization at work is good, but, legal or not, that will get you fired if you're caught. Getting involved with Tech Workers' Coalition is good, although their actions are limited. I think the best thing you can do is get fully involved in building the broader political, working-class movement against corporate predatory behavior, which I believe is inherent to capitalism. That is part of the purpose of the Tax Amazon campaign in Seattle. If you're here and interested in speaking about that please get in touch on social media. So, get involved with working class organization (you are a member of the working class after all) is a more nuanced answer. Sorry for the initial overemphasis on class struggle fatalism.
