Am I being an idiot for thinking that protesting like this, when the union is relatively small is counterproductive? I'd think I'd want to represent the majority of the workers, then protest or outright strike which will halt the cloud operations they want to halt, if that's what the majority of union members vote to do.

Doesn't matter, even if it was just two workers it's still protected concerted activity which is illegal to retaliate against.

Trespassing is not a protected form of protest. Wtf are you talking about?

Indeed not. I was commenting on the scale of protestors, not trespass.
