I agree with you but what I'm trying to explain is that complaining about a topic instead of trying to implement a democratic system to do so is the same as ignoring other people's opinion because they weren't loud enough.

If they want their opinion to be taken seriously, they should setup democratic vote among employees to collect votes anonymously about the issue at hand.

Proceeding otherwise is simply trying to convince colleagues but also removes the possibility for other employees to have their voices heard anonymously.

That's just not how it works in the real world. Saying the only valid option for exerting pressure on your employer is "setting up a democratic vote" is basically saying you should give up on exerting pressure on your employer.

Fortunately, in fact, plenty of organized people have been taken seriously, and have effected change, through other means.

> Fortunately

By possibly bypassing the majority's opinion. Also called authoritarianism. Putting pressure in a non-democratic way is silencing people's opinion and similar to censorship.
