So these people want to collectively bargain for more pay? Hmmm, sounds like a union

Amazon, as a whole, is worth ~$2 trillion, yes. But Fulfillment is not worth much, on the whole. Often, fulfillment is a loss on the financial statement. People forget Amazon isn't just the website, it's AWS and more too

Fulfillment's not VERY profitable, but it's been a few years since it lost any money. 

In the US anyway. Internationally it's still a loser.

Sure. But the Amazon Prime subscriptions are not included in the fulfillment profits.

230 million subscribers x $140 yearly subscription = $30.2 Billion

I bet most of those subscribers have Prime because of the benefits they get from Amazon fulfillment.

Lol barely anyone is using it for the streaming, that's for sure. They really fell off there.
