Feels like there would be 10 fold more that would take those jobs

That's the shame of a protest like this against a massive corporation. You're going to have many times more bootlickers.

This is where unions have a massive benefit for workers. You would have that negotiation power built in.

People are a bit delusional if they think governments like this aren't going to get the work done regardless. You'll do better trying to change things from within

So join the project and try to make it go your way? Seems like it would be tough on a project like this.
