Don't make "the company" pay; make STOCKHOLDERS pay. From their own dividends. Make it personal. Knock on their doors. Strike actual fear into the hearts of decision-makers, THEN we'll see changes!
Agree with the sentiment, but the stockholders own the company, so they're the ones ultimately paying.
On paper, but plutocracy as we now know it is all about privatizing gains and outsourcing losses, especially since the Bush-Obama bailouts, which took a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring Big Finance to heel and instead told them "you can get away with anything". It's not enough to trust that kind of transitive logic anymore; unless specifically pinned down to prevent it, it's reasonable to assume they'll find a way to weasel out of consequences they actually feel.
