But so are the reasons why people voted "leave" in left wing heart lands. Labour is now letting them down as well, by letting Article50 pass. They were told Leave was the fix, well see how it's going so far with May threatening to turn the UK into a tax haven!
Corbyn committed himself to protecting workers rights etc. some time ago. But in the end, Labour does nothing by letting Article 50 pass.
I agree with what @andyp said, that could have been a good strategy also. Unfortunately the hard left is also suffering from a simplistic anti-EU reasoning with wish full dreams of a world that will suit them.

If Labour knew it was a losing game with the amendments, don't put in a whip.
Make a shitload of noise. (see SNP)
Or alternatively REFUSE to vote for article50 and explain that you cannot safeguard workers rights, but clearly point out it's the fault of the Tories, and you will vote for it when the safeguards are in, which the Tories won't do, see it's THEIR fault.
The SNP is equally stuck here, but they've sent the right messages and tried harder.
