I think it's good to debate the tax and minimum wage topics (which really aren't unique to Amazon).

Regarding the working conditions, I think it is a small group of people trying to make a story out of nothing. I have worked a few days in an Amazon warehouse and it was better than most of the jobs I had while at high school and university (and about the same pay). Pruning trees on a forestry plantation, sorting wool for sheep shearers, standing in a shop few people ever came into... all were worse than working in an Amazon warehouse.

And as for the famous "up to 8 miles of walking during an 8hr shift" from Panorama - that's about the same as 18 holes of golf, which old men can trot around in 3hrs.
