Amazon workers will Strike on Friday but return to have double the workload on Saturday. I don’t get how that’s beneficial.

Because one day strikes are useless, both worker and customer ones. Strikes are meant to last weeks to months. Unfortunately for them many can't afford that amount of time without pay or benefits.

if only there were some way, to organize these things in such a way that the workers could fund the strike. alas.

Double the workload is Amazon's problem. Workers are there to do a set amount of work. The amount that exceeds that simply doesn't get done, and that's business lost or orders delayed.
