And by announcing it ahead of time Amazon already mitigated it

that's not how industrial action works. when negotiations break down, you make a credible threat you intend to follow through on. if you aren't in a shithole country Amazon's "mitigation" measures are going to be extremely limited aside from negotiating in good faith and coming to an agreement

They will just increase staffing at a nearby warehouse to handle the load. You think this is the only warehouse they got?
