I disagree strongly. Employees are a stakeholder in the company, and if they can band together to enact change on the companies goals for a moral purpose, then that is an option as well.

If their efforts fails, they can choose to resign, or take other actions as employees in history have. It's not the only option, it may be the only option ultimately that succeeds in removing yourself from complicity.

Well id agree on the stakeholder side but try that in the USA and they will treat it in the same way that they would union organizing :-)

You will find that in general that a lot more googlers probably wouldn't take that view.
