Sure, however, if at your next pay review your boss said they were going to cut your wage by 20% because you don't have anywhere else to work would you kick off about it or just accept it?

It's contract negotiations , last time the publishers tried to get into selling direct Amazon kicked off, this time Amazon are quietly squeezing the publisher and the publisher is kicking off.
