It’s more complicated than that. Arm is still subject to US sanctions because they use US tech.
There’s this whole drama with Arm China, which was effectively stolen from Arm’s control. I haven’t followed it super closely in recent years but here’s some recent news
But they maybe subject to that de minimis rules that the US used to block technology that uses some of theirs inside. Right now is 25% of the tech inside that trigger export rules IIRC
Not a fan of Boeing, but doesn't it make sense to not pay for the health insurance of employees refusing to work?
If they are not fulfilling their obligations, why should Boeing fulfill theirs?
Thank you for highlighting why employer provided healthcare is used to control workers. Universal healthcare would prevent this control. Is my Social Security tied to my employer? It is not, it is centrally, federally managed and provided for. Just like Medicare.
But to your specific point, yes, it makes sense for them to use worker's healthcare needs to attempt to force them to concede, from a cold game theory perspective. I hope folks will see workers in the same light if workers are able to find additional corporate weaknesses to exploit. Boeing is losing $100M-$150M/day until the strike abates and an agreement is reached.
Boeing may not really strongly care as a bargaining chip, and just seek to reduce all employee-related expenses that it is on the hook for. Given chips, it may use them.

Sure, but salary is also used to control workers - striking workers don't get paid, either. They probably don't get employer contributions to their 401k.
They aren't getting Social Security contributions during the strike, either.
At least historically, unions would have strike funds to at least ease the burden of lost income. Collective bargaining agreements would surely include backpay for workers to return to work, as well.
Legalized, yes, although I might say "so long as all parties are consenting adults."
Normalized? Depends on exactly what you mean, but let me say that I'm not advocating the idea that consuming recreational drugs, or dealing in same, is a Good Idea or something that's desirable in any way. But I make a distinction between my personal subjective feelings about moral issues, and my standing to impose my views on others. That is, I hold that none of us have any standing to compel others to behave in the way that we believe is "proper" or "good" or "just"... so long as they aren't violating anyone else's rights in the process of doing whatever they're doing.
It works well and can be used for a lot of things, but still.
