The automation is inevitable. Amazon aren't keeping that a secret.
At most, they are singling out their Fulfillment Center to be the first trials but the automation is coming regardless of the strikes.
Imagine being able to run a warehouse in total darkness, with no heating or ventilation. The cost savings from things like having toilets and a canteen could be worth a bit too. You could also expand into the car park and use up most of that since you already own the land.
It's too good an opportunity to pass up I reckon (from an Amazon perspective anyway!)
