They can walk away at any moment and there's absolutely nothing Amazon can do about it.
Amazon pays significantly above minimum wage. Why don't they pay minimum wage?
Amazon benefits to warehouse workers include heavily subsidized health care (starting at $5 per week), up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave, prepaid college tuition, and a 401(k) company match.
That's the leverage workers have.
