They are also not primarily striking because of the working conditions as you apparently seem to think.
They are striking for more money. Plain and simple.
And here comes the kicker you also apparently don't seem to know/grasp. They are being paid what they currently earn not because Amazon willingly pays them slave wages just because, they are being paid what is normal in the logistics industry! The union says the workers are working in the retail industry and should therefore earn more. THAT'S why they are striking.
They are in disagreement over what industry the workers should belong to which will directly affect their pay. Amazon does not choose how much or how little they pay their workers. They pay what the tariff dictates. The current question right now is what tariff shall be used.
And that is the outrageous thing about this whole deal. That has not been the first strike about this very topic nor will it apparently have been the last. Instead of finally getting a judge to answer the question, once and for all, to what industry the workers belong to, they pull one strike after another with the customer getting the short end.
Both sides should finally quit their antics and get the official ruling and then all this hoopla about pay can stop. And once they stage their next strike solely because of working conditions, then you are allowed to come back and white knight for the workers all you want.
