1. The movement keeps growing.

"Trainor tells Boston.com he expects Tuesday’s rally to be the biggest yet. The crowd sizes at the previous rallies have grown in estimated attendance from 300 to 2,500 to 5,000 to somewhere between 6,000 and 12,000 at the most recent one."

The plight of these workers at a fairly unknown grocery chain has struck a chord nationally - with some commentators calling their efforts "the supermarket uprising" and "the last stand for the middle class".

That is because the fight seems to encapsulate everything that is wrong with corporate America.

Ever since the recession, lower and middle-class Americans have felt as if those as the top are taking more than their fair share, choosing profits over building businesses.

Since 1978, average chief executive pay has increased by 937%, whereas for the average worker, it has increased by just 10.2%, according to the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.

A separate study found that in the US, the wealth of 16,000 families was equal to that of the bottom two-thirds of American families.
