I work at Amazon. My father-in-law is a union pipefitter. We both make 100k a year. Except he has a pension and I have to pay into a 401k.
Further, the culture at Amazon is such working harder would require sacrificing physical and mental health. Especially on the retail and warehouse side.

I should have been more clear in that while I'm against unions I'm all for paying workers twice the going rate. And firing them if they don't perform. And my comments about working harder for more money was about pay based on performance. ie produce more, make more. Go hard or go home. Not sure how that can fit into retail and warehouse there exactly but it probably could be done. Pensions, 401K. Not my cup of tea. I prefer to watch trees grow. And have you seen how easy it is to launch a product these days? Well, actually nothing's easy.
