If they're working there, they believe its their best option.

If you're successful at causing amazon to crumble and they lose their job, would you really feel good?

Imagine telling them they don't have job anymore because you know better than them whats good for them

This feels like a bit of a straw man — if Amazon start losing potential sales because people don't like how they're treating their workers, they'll fix their workers rights before they let the company crumble out of spite.

Customer pressure is a real lever in these scenarios.

This argument is absurd. You can tell how absurd it is because if you just take it to it's logical conclusion, suddenly you're supporting indentured servitude in Dubai.

Do you support that? Almost certainly not. So the only resolution is you don't actually believe this argument.

Indentured servitude prevents switching jobs, so we can't assume its their best option. As long as workers are free to switch jobs, we can assume its their best option, that despite all of the downsides, they think its worth it.

I'm guessing Amazon pays above average and that's why people keep working for them despite their reputation. The people there have a choice. Keep making more at Amazon but be treated poorly, and that's a choice they make.

If Amazon doesn't like a worker, they can fire them.

If a worker doesn't like Amazon, they can quit.

You can hate Amazon, thats fine, you can choose to never work for Amazon, thats fine, but lets not lie to ourselves. The people who choose to work at Amazon want to work there. They all applied, accepted the job, and show up every day.

Choice. Not having it makes you a victim.

We should not blame victims

That is a false dichotomy

Amazon crowds out alternatives
