Yeah, I agree with your sentiment. Also, this is absolutely correct in the context of this conversation:

you can't have a different set of laws for Google than you have for every other company.

While I agree with the sentiment, the reality is a bit different. This issue seems to be prompted mostly by contractors who are doing the same work for less pay, basically. Like, sure, in a walkout, you’re going to get a lot of support staff, cleaning staff, etc., but in the day-to-day, it seems like this issue has been made into a big deal because you might have a team of 15 people, where 8 are contractors, doing the same work, and being payed less. This helps the company’s bottom line immensely, where you don’t have to give equity to half of the people doing real work.

Again, I get your sentiment, but I don’t think that it captures the reality of what goes on.
