    If this strike actually gains momentum, to the point where the entire European delivery system grinds to a halt (during one of Amazon's biggest promotional events of the year), I think that they will be able to secure better conditions. Amazon's workers are ultimately the ones that make the company function, no matter how rich Bezos becomes, so I am confident that they have the ability to use their power to ensure that they get their well deserved share in Amazon's success.

    I think it's interesting, there's been some strikes in Spain due to working conditions in the Amazon warehouses for a bit now; although I doubt it'll accomplish much (Bezos will remain filthy rich regardless, workers conditions won't improve much). Or am I being too cynical?
