If the 20 minutes represents 4% of the day working time, and if it can be said that Amazon is forced, by law, to pay its workers 4% more at the time of the judgement, what exactly prevents them from engineering a 4% drop in the future?
There's also nothing stopping the workers from spending that 4% of their working day thinking of creative ways to get compensated for the wasted time (equilibrium if you will). More likely the good employees will find employment elsewhere and you'll be stuck with workers with no other options. Justice is better than escalations by either party.
