    That's total number of employees for the company at large, including dozens of subsidiaries, their various product teams, AWS (which is reportedly in the ballpark of 130k), Prime Video, marketing, and all other departments.

    Do you have a breakdown of how many of those are actually factory workers?

      This. I'd bet if you knew some of the inner workings of Amazon, you could hand select a few dozen employees or positions to go on strike and bring their service to a screeching halt. And the types of people that generally strike, are more likely to be in one of those positions.
