You forget that in Germany, unemployment insurance requires you to not bypass any offers (and you're required to seek work as well).
By "choosing" not to be employed by Amazon, if that's offered to the worker and happens to be their only choice, they "choose" to lose unemployment benefits.

Sounds like a faustian bargain.
