Digital Pinkertons.

This is fine

...you know, that's an interesting way to look at it. Previously Amazon has skirted labor laws by subcontracting everything - to, say, the Pinkertons. I think it's naive to presume this is the first time Amazon has hired strike-busters so the question this raises to me is why bring it internal? You and I both know that McKinsey likely has an entire division for stuff like this.
