Nor were they free to leave. The situations are not comparable.
Consequences of leaving as a slave: being chased, beaten, maybe killed. Consequences of leaving for Amazon workers (well at least many of them probably most of the ones not on strike): losing roof over your head, family starving, children being denied things.
Slaves had it worse, the argument about it not being voluntarily decision still applies.
What about: they are scared of being fired and their families losing roof over their head and food to eat ? Most people aren't willing to go on strike or take any risks if already bad situation. I mean, the slaves weren't on constant strike either.
