Walkouts wouldn't work either. There just aren't enough of us in a position to have an impact on corporations or human resource departments to the point they question their policies. In fact, many would simply say, "well, Bob seemed like a bad apple anyway. We're best rid of him."

Tom, you are probably 100 percent correct. That said ...

In other words -- ya can't win if ya don't even try.
Nonetheless, I completely recognize that whether or not to quit (or decline) a paying job over a matter of principle is a highly personal decision. Which means, for those who would not have chosen as I did, that my decision may be different from yours but that doesn't make my decision "wrong."
