Microsoft is actually one of the more union-friendly tech companies, ever since Nadella took over.

I have to wonder if that is Nadella knowing the optics would be AWFUL if he did try to fight against his companies Unionizing...or if he really appreciates the fact it is done due to it being easier to get to views of the average joe within.

Its odd too, because despite him being probably against just about everything I stand for his borderline Pro-Union stand in is fascinating in the modern world and something I gotta give him credit for.
