I prefer a complete separation of business and state. Anytime government butts into anything, it makes it worse.

Nah, the government should definitely be butting in when it comes to labour laws. Businesses are terrible for exploiting employees!

I disagree. In fact, in most of the world, it is essentially impossible for a business to exploit employees, if by exploitatuon you mean unreasonable treatment.  Almost everybody is free to leave their job at any time. So if they do not like the way they are treated by their employer, they can, and very often do, go work somewhere else.

In any case, I don't think that's relevant to this merger. Essentially all labor advocates support this deal.
