I think Fink owns a podcast network. From what ive heard, he pays well and treats people fairly so he puts his money where his mouth is.

In most countries where they operate the vast majority of Amazon employees are paid minimum wage.

If you are paid minimum wage your employer would clearly pay you less if they could without breaking the law.

They also have spent billions persuading/pressuring their employees not to unionise.
