We workers are alone on the fight against these capitalist ghouls—no judge, politician, or any other 'leader' is gonna come to save us. And there's nothing we can do to win the fight. But there's one thing we can stop doing—giving them our labour. That's the only leverage we got. Striking, quitting, not applying for those jobs.. yes, I know many people aren't in a position where that's an option, I myself have worked delivering for Amazon (and it's not even in my top 5 worst jobs), but if you can't afford to quit a shitty job at an Amazon warehouse you can't afford to be having a baby, either.
