I'm not sure why people feel the need to pick a side in these disputes. Labor is free to organize and demand compensation, and capital is free to agree or not. This is a good thing.
well when the press starts writing it up and fingers start pointing when it's a high profile company with lots of employees so I can understand the need to CYA. Unions don't want to look bad so they start pointing to management as unsual.
