Just remember, with automation and A.I., it may be your job that's next. A.I. can probably make a better deal for less cost than sending some Joe Schmo back and forth across the country selling cloud computing or widgets to various purchasers (who will also be automated soon).
Has it occurred to you that a lot of the guests who are impacted by goons beating drums at 6 a.m. are themselves trying to make a living? There is a difference between legitimate collective bargaining and harassing customers who have no dog in the fight.
