There is no value in their position, there's no 'win' to fight for. It isn't about protecting jobs, because if they get their jobs back, others will be displaced (it's a net zero in that regard). All they are accomplishing is to antagonize fans, and place themselves on the wrong side of public opinion.

It's their job though.
