Maybe it’s just my opinion but there is a world of difference between being forced to work on a factory floor for 16 hours without a break and “The company didn’t denounce…” or “my company is making me return to office…”
Perhaps they have other grievances but I guarantee they pale in comparison to what the labor movement worked to solve years back.
I'm assuming you come from a time where strong unions were still a thing. They were a hard-won victory for workers' rights, and a necessity to improve working conditions. Without them, any complaining employee was simply fired, because it's much cheaper for the organization to fire a few employees than to acquiesce to their demands. The latter is precisely what's happening here.
