If BIGCORP is acting outside of labor laws, then there should be legal action.

If the law doesn't explicitly outlaw BIGCORP's actions (yet), and we all kinda know that it should, then opposing BIGCORP is the correct thing to do.

If Amazon is acting legally, yet in an ugly way, to suppress workers organizing, it seems hard to complain.

Now, if Amazon workers exercise the right of free association in their spare time to stick it to JeffB, well, it sounds like he's got a problem.

BIGCORP writes the labor laws.

Well, if our political system is worth much, then it behooves us to elect some people who can, you know, write laws.

Past the flippancy, this is a huge undertaking.

Half the political battle is showing up; the other half is staying engaged.
