A lot of people in those higher positions want it stay the way it is, for power and money. They pretty much turn us against each other and convince us they are more important, their profits are more important, their power is more important.
Capitalism - and hell, US society - is pretty grand, innit?

... and if you decide to go on a strike, you'll either risk losing your job, or you'll end up going to jail/prison. If either one of those scenarios occur, the corporate leader will hire someone else to suffer the same fate, whether it be overworking for underpaid hours, receiving low salaries, having job cuts, risking layouts/layoffs, or dealing with harassment/assault/abuse.
If you try to take your complaints to human resources, they will most likely side with the corporations. If you go the police, they really can't do anything without evidence. If you try to sue the corporation/file a complaint to court, you would have to pay with a lot of money and time. If you try to lobby/get Congress or the government to make/pass laws, well ... that's self-explanatory.
So much for "the land of the free."
