You have a very myopic view of what Amazon is and what roles the majority of its labor force occupy.

The bulk of Amazon's workforce are delivery drivers, warehouse workers, and datacenter rats. They are not paid fairly. It's pretty obvious from the numbers. For more supporting evidence, read TFA.

That was a consequence of relentless campaign, but it was not necessarily an raise for the workers. They essentially traded a form of compensations for another.

Also 15 dollars per hour can be high or not depending where you live.
