Arguably, those workers aren't paid below typical levels and would not earn more elsewhere. Not being extra generous is key to Amazon's profitability, which ensures those workers have job security.

I'm way more concerned with Bezos' political ambitions (as oligarch with his own, pretty terrible and partisan, newspaper and who knows what other sorts of lobbying).
