I don't think we can, companies like Amazon can't stop thinking about costs, it's in their DNA, it's what they live and breath.

Distribution is all about margins, if you can't keep costs low then you are toast, they are always utterly miserable places to work.

You can force them to give provide conditions, or else they have to pay monumental fines / managers go to prison, etc. They will get the point.

Is the point to use robots? Because I'm pretty sure they already know that.

The only way to make reasonable business decisions is to think about costs in any company.
