Whereas "Accept our terms of employment or starve," isn't?

You're implying that Amazon has a de facto monopoly on available jobs.

The parent comment implied that their workers have a de facto monopoly on filling boxes.

Which is indeed the case in the short term. However, quitting your job means not making your rent payment for a quarter of America, so the analogy still holds.

Management bargains collectively - why can't their employees do likewise?

Management bargains collectively? I don't think so. That would be considered anti-competitive, like when Apple and Google had a no-poaching agreement.

Perhaps I misused the word 'collectively' - but notice that this is a strike by Amazon workers in Germany, as opposed to all warehouse workers in Germany.

Inside the company, management's position is highly collective. Owners expend significant resources to get the best possible deal on what they have to pay their employees - resources that are beyond the reach of an individual employee. For jobs like this, it imposes pay grades across the entire warehouse floor - as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition.

It only makes sense that employees should organize their own advocacy groups.
