Workers enter into an agreement - compensation for labor. There are plenty of people at Amazon who are now millionaires or very highly paid.

People have rent to pay. The "you agreed to it" argument only works if the person genuinely had other realistic options available to them. Nobody would work for peanuts and pee in bottles if they had another realistic option.

Why would you assume workers don’t have other options? The unemployment rate before Covid was the lowest since the 50’s.
If the Amazon job is so bad then there must be plenty of better options?

Why do you think that? Doesn't it make more sense that if people are accepting a bad job it's because all their options are bad as well?
