Nothing because I support the workers striking

So let them. Thats Amazons problem.

Not buying things from Amazon at all really has nothing to do with that when you get down to it. If the workers walk off the job then that holds up Amazons pipeline, which means you might not get your stuff on time, but otherwise its up to Amazon to hash things out with their people in order to get things moving again.

I really cant see what message not interacting with Amazon whatsoever sends. I said before I support the strike but my position as a consumer really has no bearing on that relationship between their staff and management so, while I have no problem with delays that might result from the decision to stand up to Amazon, Im in no position to influence the events directly with or without my consumership.

I guess I might feel more personally invested if the staffers themselves were encouraging people to stop buying Amazon products until they get better treatment. Then it puts the weight on me as a consumer for making things worse for the unseen workforce that works to get me my goods. But until then I have to say Im not really shouldering their load in any tangible way as a buyer of Amazon goods.
