Little is known that recently FedEx was forced to convert their contractor delivery drivers to employees. The same way it may work out for Uber.

Could there be a similar path for Amazon wrhse workers to go down eventually?
amazon will just speed up their automation. uber can't do that as easily with cars on public roads.
Well, if they did become employees, I guess they could opt to have an election to decide on unionization or not and then have the union vote on any opportunity to automate... where they most likely would pass on that --unless AMZN undermines union cohesion by having robots pay double union dues.
