Historically hasn't this activism always been about improving working conditions?

I was empathetic with the initial walkout since it was addressing working conditions directly (covering up sexual harassment and forced arbitration).

Then the organizers of that action started agitating to change company direction regarding military contracts, censored search engines, and conservative people being on certain boards. While in general I have reservations about all those things, and think people should speak up about them, I don't think that organizing against general company direction should be protected in the same way labor organizing is.
