Not in an Amazon warehouse, but yes I have worked in a shipping warehouse in my early adulthood (19). It was hard work, sure, and my boss was an asshole who later got committed to the funny farm (seriously!). But I never had to take a shit while driving, I was never worked like a slave, and nobody ever implied something bad might happen to my family's jobs if I talked to a union rep either.
There's degrees here, and Amazon treats vulnerable people with a very high degree of hostility and abuse. That fact alone tells me everything I need to know about the people running that organization. They're not about mutual benefit - the real reason for capitalism - they're about exploitation, and they'll do it to anyone and everyone they can as long as they can get away with it.
