You avoided the question of whether you've worked for a large employer like Amazon or Target. Pay packages are not a change to the wording of an employment contract. What I'm talking about is a change to the contract that would have legal implications. You failed to give an example of an employee that has succeeded in doing that with a large employer. Your example of highly in demand software engineers does not apply to the average worker - the topic is Amazon warehouse employees forming a union. Your example of a CEO does not apply to the hundreds of millions of average workers. In the free market labor can organize to get paid according to their collective value. To get more pay think about being as organized and as powerful as management and the legal team of the company you are negotiating with. Always be thinking about that.
