These kinds of arguments are only ever applied to workers. Nobody argues that a company having a single legal team that represents all of its managers and sets org-wide hiring policies is anti-efficiency. If you negotiate with a publicly traded company, you are engaging in collective bargaining, because public companies are collectives that represent the multiple interests of multiple stakeholders during negotiations. Nobody argues that companies are anti-value because they restrict my freedom to negotiate a separate contract with every single member of the company's board. But suddenly it's different if the workers do the same thing. |

Nonsense, people insisted that it was foolish to require bundling of routine insurance with catastrophic insurance, people advocate for the severability of hardward and operating systems, people oppose forced bundling of insurance and all kinds of other goods.

They would however observe that that single legal team only protects the company, and that each employee should have their own, individual legal representation for their own personal liability.

This doesn’t offer a counterpoint to my point.

I think the comparison here has been twisted so far beyond the breaking point that there is no need of a rebuttal.
