A temp worker putting books in boxes could hardly be called an "independent contractor", no matter how you slice it. There are about 8 different things to look for when determining employee or independent contractor status. No way could an order-fullfillment person be deemed an independent contractor. Now if the temp were working for a temp help agency such as Adia, Manpower, etc, then that's a different story. But in that case, the workers would still have to be paid overtime wages if working over 40 hrs/week. It's just that they would be paid by their temp service employer instead of Amazon.com.
