#3Imagine this would lead to make working at Amazon Warehouse a better place, with more rights for the workers.

I don’t think something similar will happen in the US. Here (I’m Italian) workers are highly protected, and this is positive in some ways but also negative because a lot of industries don’t want to invest in the country because “if someday we will be not profitable in Italy, will be very hard to close and dismiss our workers”.
It’s pretty hard balancing this two point of view.

It's not uncommon for avowedly anti-union employers to have union contracts outside the US. When Walmart owned the British supermarket ASDA, for example, the GMB union was recognised. Companies seem quite adept at keeping their adaptations to local rules tightly firewalled.

Except for the 'platforms' like Uber, JustEatTakeAway, Deliveroo et al.

Of course they make sure to get away with whatever they can get away with. "Why shouldn't they"

But they are also being targeted by italian authorities right now, so their ability to escape is very time constrained, they're just a new concept which wasn't legislated about so far, but regulations might be slow, but at a certain point they will get to it
