Well, the president of CWA (the union) also praises them:

    > “Mi­crosoft has lived up to its com­mit­ment to its work­ers and let them de­cide for them­selves whether they want a union,” CWA Pres­i­dent Chris Shel­ton said. “Other videogame and tech gi­ants have made a con­scious choice to at­tack, un­der­mine, and de­mor­al­ize their own em­ploy­ees when they join to­gether to form a union.”

...there's an obvious zero-sum game involved when unions negotiate with companies. Think of other zero-sum games like negotiating a price. Have you ever asked a salesperson about a price and heard them say "..the highest I can possibly extract from you"? No? Have you ever heard a salesperson say "I'll get you a great deal!" Yes? Does that convince you that most salespeople are really big on altruism?
