on the warehouse side, Amazon is only the best game in town when it is the only game in town.

Other warehouses have higher wages, better hours, many are unionized, etc.

Huh things may have changed since I worked in warehouses. (I used to live/work in a blue collar area before going to school for software dev years ago, I did construction over the summer and other people did warehouses and deliveries, and still do.)

From my past exanecdotal experience Amazon has had the best pay but the worst working conditions, that's usually the bargin you get. Maybe their conditions got worse with additional surveillance and other warehouses catching up in wages has changed the calculus for people.
