Nothing. Not supporting it. Not even going to their sites.

I think the strike is important, and maybe by also boycotting, it helps out the workers that are striking somehow.

This, Im no scab

See, you dont even understand what effect not consuming will have in improving conditions between the staff and Amazon. It just maybe will help and give a vague notion of solidarity.

I would rather stand with the workers than the company and if boycotting means reducing the demand for it, then that's good too. Why would I want to encourage a day where they overwork their employees even more than they already have when they deem paying a hospital bill is less costly than providing their workers with better working conditions? The stories I've read about and also heard from people working in various departments of Amazon is pretty disgusting.

I understand your point of wanting people to consume so that it puts a strain on Amazon and makes an impact on how much they need the workers, but I also think the six hour strike is a small delay that won't create that much of a strain. Not too mention it's more costly for Amazon to have no one buy the junk sitting in their warehouse as it takes up inventory for items people actually want to buy. They lose so much more money with these items sitting in their warehouses with no demand.

Edit: Also look at how many celebrities they have promoting it. That should show you how much they're willing to spend to promote this day because it'll still make them insane amount of revenue to justify it.
