I don't think anyone is saying that what amazon is doing is necessarily illegal, one can still strongly disagree.
And even if amazon is held to a higher standard (which is a big if), considering that they are by quite a margin the biggest player so what they do creates a signal to all other players about what is acceptable. Moreover with their profits they could afford to treat their employees well.

What people are (or at least, I am) saying is that yes this behavior is technically legal, and that's a problem for those who care about human dignity and the ideal of the social contract.
