Strikes me as an uphill lift. Amazon didn't agree to this contract, so going to be hard to enforce it. Most likely Amazon drops BTS if the union goes on strike

It appears that Amazon has already said that they're going to be dropped, strike or no strike.

At the end of the article, it reads like BTS was already about to be dropped by Amazon before the unionization was announced.

It sounds like it could be a Hail Mary by BTS ownership. Why else would an employer immediately concede to union demands? Especially when they know they’re bound to a strict contract with Amazon on pay?

They might be hoping a court rules that Amazon must adhere to the contract. Otherwise, they’re out of business.
