Companies aren't inherently "entitled to" anything either, including "personhood," avoidance of personal liability of shareholders for company actions, patents and trademark protection for inventions, rights to use public infrastructure, etc. You can't pretend like society hasn't granted corporations their own reasonable entitlements while arguing that workers shouldn't have their own.

That's true. Companies are just collections of people. They are not entitled to anything either. I don't think they should have any entitlements. No entitlement is "reasonable" if none are owed to anyone or anything to begin with.
"Companies are just collections of people."

False. Corporations are golems, not people at all.
