This is an ahistorical argument that is wildly ignorant of the power dynamics between labor and capital, with a Nassim Taleb-ism shoe-horned in to a place where it doesn't fit.

How doesn't it fit?
You don't live in this neighborhood. You don't work at an amazon warehouse. You probably don't even know anyone who does. You can comment about power dynamics on a forum for software engineers.
They have the power to seek better employment. Youre the one that wants to strip them of the power for them to vote on matters concerning them directly.

Please don't personally attack people here - I fit most of your criteria posted and your post seems very exclusionary.

And isn’t this the core issue behind nearly every political disagreement? Who has power, and how can we take it. I’m not saying that’s always bad, but it is, at the end of the day, about control.

And here I was thinking political disagreement was about solving problems and reaching compromises to everyone's benefit. I guess I'm naive.

Amazon is entirely apathetic to the concerns of their warehouse and trucking staff. That's why they need to wear diapers, soil themselves, shit in bags in the back of their trucks, and piss in bottles. If Amazon was interested in compromising we wouldn't be seeing nationwide coverage of these issues wherever Amazon builds a warehouse.
