Situations like this present another potential advantage of organized labor. Beyond guaranteeing benefits and reasonable wages, it can also allow workers to throw a wrench into the gears of whatever evil shit their company might be complicit in. Aviation and dock workers have used their collective muscle to undermine the likes of Pinochet and Israel, and there's a lot of possibilities for tech people to do something similar. It's probably why a company as vile as Google is fighting unionization so hard. Best to keep your employees limited to writing easily-ignored petitions.
