"Why does everyone ignore the fact that employment at Amazon is voluntary?"

Because it absolutely does not matter.

"then the employee should simply stop working there, because Amazon isn't holding up their end of the bargain."

This makes a whole lot of assumptions about things, namely that the employee has the ability to go somewhere else, and that Amazon is entitled to treat their workers like shit.

"So Amazon cuts out lunch breaks and whatever else to try to make the $7.25 back, and the employee is able to just barely scrape by with this crappy job because they're making $7.25 plus food stamps."

And for a company of their size, with their resources, this is entirely unacceptable and pure evil.
