I'm not sure if describe collective action as "a game they will lose." Labor laws and the 40 hour work week didn't just get handed down by well meaning capitalists. They happened because of decades of intense coordinated action, largely by unions. "Not playing the game" sounds a lot like a strike to me. Isn't "Grouping together and investing their capital" exactly what unions do? A lot of folk going on strike don't have the option to go elsewhere or find another job (which is probably the exact reason that a corporation feels they can underpay them). I agree that well paid workers don't strike, so i guess this corp should pony up some more money?
