This is where it gets cloudy to me, when you say "screwing their workers", what does that mean? To me, a worker, is never forced, and if a company is violating the law the worker has legal recourse.

Also, I expect "corporations", "institutions", unions, organizations, individuals, etc., to fight for what they think is in their best interest. Voting, in my opinion, still has more power than money regarding the influence of public policy.
