After unionising, why would Amazon listen to any of the union's demands? Would the union call a strike? Presumably there will be other employees waiting to take their place as these jobs do not require a lot of training and workers can be replaced quickly.

I would guess that Amazon would simply not even speak to any union representatives - there's no advantage to them in doing so.

The whole point of a union is to protect the rights of people who are doing things that don't take a lot of skill.

I know that’s the point - I can’t understand how they hope to achieve it as they have no leverage.

I don't know that I disagree with you regarding their lack of leverage, but I think it is more due to their inability to disrupt production because of Amazon's large size and ability to reroute order fulfillment.
