By all means, let's demonize the companies that clearly
want to get away with so much more than they're currently able to get away with by law. That would be a much more rational approach... and not frightening in the least.
If the point of this thread is that the world might be a better place if corporations were more invested in the welfare of their employees, then hell... I'm in. Bring on the renaissance! But I thought it was about whether or not Amazon should be singled out for particularly atrocious working conditions. If so, I've yet to see/read/hear any compelling evidence to that effect.
