If Amazon is offering the very best jobs available to those workers, and Amazon actually complies with all laws and regulations, then I fail to see how is Amazon responsible for the worker's problems. It seems to me that the problem lies elsewhere, like how a regional economy managed to get so depressed to the point that no alternative job is available.

If the only job that's availanle to you is working in a sweatshop, does shutting the sweatshop down fixes anything?

What is legal is not equal to what is moral. If you force Amazon to pay some decent wages all across the country they would have to comply, and, as the result won't be able to shutdown the facilities in the depressed areas. Because they need the facilities to run their business, duh.
