It seems to me, as an outsider that has rebuffed them several times, that they've found this subculture of abuse takers that will just sort of deal with it.

I know their pay isn't stratospheric, certainly not a shattering lifestyle change to leave. Many seem drawn to the allure of the name, it's a well known tech company.. Are these types capable of forming a union? by the time they are willing to stick their neck out to do something like form a union, it's just so easy to turn the page and leave.

I worked for a satellite TV provider years and years back, it was similar, very abusive, very demanding. I did my project and left, it just wasn't a good fit. In retrospect, the people that stayed all seem to be somehow damaged. It was just unhealthy, emotionally, I don't remember anyone that was actually happy in life being there. Also very similar to Amazon, they sell to the lowest common denominator, Amazon is effectively going toe to toe with Walmart, more so than google or apple.
