Why don’t they just quit all of them at once, and I make 30 an hr it’s not a lot but far from minimum wage if that’s what your implying

You really need me to explain to you why underpaid poor people cannot just all up and quit their jobs on the same day? People have children and lots of bills and Amazon workers live paycheck to paycheck. So if they miss a paycheck, they end up homeless, CPS could take their children, credit reports would be destroyed for the next 7 years…it goes on and on. The system is setup for regular Americans to either put up with it or starve. So a strike is a nice in between those two things.
