People often have some amount of morals that go into which job they have. This typically plays into the choice of jobs. Taking a job that has military contracts is a moral stance, as is taking a job that does not. Taking a job that supports dictatorships is a moral stance, as is taking a job that does not. When a company changes their moral stances, this acts against the previous choices of the employees who work there. Of course it is reasonable to protest these changes.
Corporations are composed of people. To imply that this relieves people of any moral responsibility for the actions of corporations is absurd.
Corporations are made up of people but the corporation itself is NOT the sum of its people, it is its own entity, hell US corporations have the same human rights and social number.
The difference is a corporation is void of moral conscience, so you can't really expect to bring your own Judeo-Christian ethics here
I agree that corporations are not just the sum of its parts.
It is entirely valid to model a corporation as an artificial intelligence that happens to use human brains as hardware.
Taking a job at a corporation can then be seen either as joining it, or as interacting with it.
If one is joining a corporation, the individual's choices are part of the AI that drives the corporation. In this case, it is essential for individuals to act morally, in order to predispose the corporation to act morally.
If one is interacting with a corporation, there is no expectation that it will behave morally. Therefore, to increase the likelihood that it will perform moral actions, it should be painful for the corporation to perform immoral actions. That punishment can be inflicted by bringing negative PR, by negotiating contracts that avoid immoral actions, or by quitting and thereby forcing the company to pay higher wages to attract the same talent.
There's no reason why a worker can't seek to influence the company that they work for, on behalf of their own self interest, which could include their moral sensibilities.
