This. I enjoy working here in Germany for this exact reason, unions and workers rights. It feels so damn great to work in a country where I feel that I am being treated fair and where I know that I can count on my colleagues (not just at my work place but my whole sector) to have my back. The fact is that it is not a lack of income that does not allow bigger wages for the workers at Amazon but an abundance of greed. When your union sees that you could be better off without hurting the place you work at it is going to step in. It is also going to step in when any of your basic rights as a worker is are not met (vacation time, compensated overtime, insurance, workplace safety etc.)
