The government should be involved because the governments laws have been broken.
The question is not if we were working for another company. But if those companies were involved in illegal activity that we were adversely effected by.
You say it is a matter of greed when you in fact have very little information on this case.
Most of the posts on this forum in fact are stating that contractors make more money... This is not true in this situation but this is not even the point of the lawsuit.

What problems have been caused by NAFTA or by globalizing the economy.
I will not even pretend to know all of the answers.
But this is what I see.
1) The United State is feeling huge economic strains from NAFTA and from globalization.
2) People all over the place are being forced into minimum wage jobs due to companies trying to cut the bottom line. Those same companies are reporting record profits to the stockholders. And some are breaking the law to accomplish this.
4) The rich just keep getting richer by cutting the bottom line at the expense of the American worker.
5) Wage freezes and Layoffs are not only happening to the non-contract workers. They are happening to everyone.
The government has put laws in place to help protect workers from corporations. In this situation we believe that these laws have been broken.

We can only hope to institute a change for the better but the future in not in our hands.
We believe that what HP has done is illegal and they should be accountable for that.
