Better to pay the workers. It's an absolute shame that Amazon it's making so much money and treating their workers like shit.

> Unions who represent Amazon workers have characterized its work conditions as “draconian” and physically demanding to the point of causing injury. Francisco Hervias, a worker who protested on Black Friday in Madrid last month, said at the time that he nearly lost his hand on the job.

Instead of targeting specific entities, the better way would be to introduce structural changes in a American society via federal laws mandating paid leave minimums and removal of non-monetary compensation like health insurance benefit.

A reduction in supply of labor will lead to higher wages, at the same time providing people with less stress and more time to participate in their community.
