When you have no voice (like independent syndicates), the weak is easily exploited with only desperate acts to be heard. China 2014, Europe circa the Industrial Revolution.

Probably due to unpaid wages... I feel sorry for these migrant workers. They work pretty decently for crap wages and are LUCKY to get paid on time. They always need to resort to crazy actions like this to get things done and about 50%+ of the time, they end up in jail or dead.
