Yes, and the fact that Amazon employs so much of its warehouse workforce indirectly is another reason that Amazon is an other-than-stellar employer.

I don't know of evidence that they do steal more than the warehouse workers at places like Costco, or even WalMart, about which I'm not reading of such problems. But if it is true that Integrity Staffing Solutions workers steal more than the industry norm, maybe one small part of it is that if they steal from Amazon, they aren't stealing from their employer, but from a labor company giving little benefits or security.
From a moral standpoint, it comes down to how long the workers are being delayed in picking up their kids from day care after the shift is complete. From my link in #227, you would get the idea that it's a matter of who's telling the truth -- Amazon, whose spokesperson says there is "little or no wait," or workers like Jesse Buck who say 25 minutes. But I just found this, from a local paper, that reconciles the competing claims -- it was bad, but it got better because of the lawsuit:

Amazon.com spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman said workers now have “little or no wait” to get through the security screening.
Talking to reporters after the hearing, Thierman said that’s because the company added security screeners when the appeals court ruled in the workers’ favor.
