Depends how long it goes.  Lotsa small biz depends on Amazon to ship them their merchandise.  In a week or so inventory will be drained and it should start affecting people directly.  When they can't get their toys, they'll pay some attention.

A strike at one distribution center will not matter.  Software will send orders to other distribution centers and the shutdown will hardly be noticed.

There are several hundred distribution centers.  I found a list.  It is long enough that there could be over a thousand.

I picked one at random and looked at it on a map.

That one alone can eat the loss caused by the granola eaters in NY walking around with signs.  Jeff Bezos will wait them out.

We live in the society of the spectacle.  Freedom is an illusion.

I wasn't aware it was only 1 DC.  I thought it was all of them.  Unless they have solidarity and all go out together, it's a waste of time.
