I'm not sure what the argument is here ? I've not followed this so please correct or fill me in but having good tools or a decent material environment doesn't invalidate other demands part of the workforce might have (with regards to wages, communication from managers to subordinates, leave days, etc...).
Walking out for 1h -another bit that captured the attention of the public- isn't epic or legendary by any means but it's still more than what happens in some places.
Edit : Especially considering some of those working stations are probably used by freelances, so it makes even less sense.
Googling it seems to indicate that they've been negotiating for over a year, staging a walk out as a show of force to try to force the hand of the direction isn't incoherent or anything. Is primarily about wages, severance packages and the status of freelance workers.
"They have state of the art robot arms, why do auto workers complain about ?"
