There aren't. The petitions are always for a given cause, not the counter-cause.

Sure. But people who think the status quo is not bad are unlikely to petition for it. So there seems to be a selection problem here.

Yeah, I think you are in agreement.

It’s worse than that though, because I’d be afraid to say anything contrary to the activist’s opinions. I don’t want to be stalked or harassed. The company is extremely tolerant of what employees say, the activists not so much.
