so that people could understand what is going on with Big Corporations in this country, many of them foreign.

It's sad to see Americans being treated the way they are in their own country by some of these Corporations.

Good for them for continuing to stand up for their rights.

would create sympathy and solidarity with workers, from the general public. Thats the last thing that PTB wants. Same reason we see scant coverage of austerity protests in Europe: informed people become trouble.
