The more I read about this, the more convinced I am that Amazon was just a bunch of snowflakes.

IAWTP. The seemingly savviest take I heard was from here, a portion of a podcast episode. If you'd rather read than listen to a few minutes of audio, he quotes heavily from a Bloomberg article. I think you can zoom out from the details of union negotiations and Gianaris's nomination and chalk this up to Amazon being plain irresolute and ill-prepared.
