Intel Developer Forum - fly in the ointment?

Leaving the Moscone to grab a half decent cofffe - an orange flyer is given to me outlining details of a strike by laundry staff employed by Prudential Overall Supply - the company that washes the factory garments for Intel's workers. In highly controlled environments, specialist laundry processes are key to keeping lab environments clean.

Prudential OS are reported (www.serviceworkersrising.org/prudential) to be enforcing unfair working practices including harassment, discrimination, illegal suspension and wages below the 'poverty line' Basically - workers want Intel to flex their corporate muscles and get Prudential to change their ways.

I barely read the flyer until later in the morning inside the Moscone, when an Intel employee tried to take the flyer away from me saying she had been instructed to remove them from the building, after an awkward conversation she very reluctantly allowed me to keep it. I also noticed the police were called to 'encourage' workers to move further away from the Moscone.

I am curious as to why Intel were so concerned about the display? it is not a direct reflection on the corporation... yet they made strenuous efforts to remove any evidence of the protest.
