What a contract says does not determine what is ethical. I'm interested in worker control over their own workplaces. Plenty of countries already do this, Germany for instance has board seats reserved for workers as mandatory for all large companies.
The U.S legal system (or anywhere else's) is not based on your subjective personal ethics.
Germans voted for a specific right. American's do the same all the time. Germans still do not have some blanket right for every worker to control company policy.

Or what is legal. So many people don't assert their rights because some random piece of paper (or online form) told them they can't, when it would be completely unenforceable in a local court.
They aren't legally owed them though. So if the company doesn't want to give them that say, then they don't get that say.
