Sure, just as police use unions today to escape accountability for bad behavior. I'm certainly not arguing that every single thing a union has done or stood for is universally moral or just. What institution in any period of history bats 1000 in terms of doing the right thing by every person in society? Feel free to name one. But we absolutely take a lot of what labor movements have given our society for granted. Child labor laws are another great example.
The underlying point still stands: a labor force that works together is vastly more powerful and therefore much more of a threat to the ownership class than a workforce that acts individually. It's in the best interests of executives to facilitate the conversations around DEI to avoid that anger spilling over into collective action, especially as sympathy in the labor movement continues to rise in America.
