Don't know if much more can be done, but at least we can do this.
Of course Amazon does adhere to fair labor standards in their sweatshops. They also pay significantly more than equivalent jobs in the regions where they are located. (Which are not, however, high wage areas.)

The fact that occasional 20-something journalists discover that working in a warehouse is "hard" compared to working in an office should not be surprising, however.
