The executives in charge of these organizations would sooner destroy the entire company than be seen willingly acquiescing to their worker's requests. The C-suite at this large of an entity tend to actively revile the rank and file workers, they truly view them as subhuman beggar urchins, crowding around them to try and peel scraps of money away from them, the "real earners". Giving workers a "win", even when it's the smart business move, would destroy their credibility in their entire social circle and would likely lead to the prompt end of their positions.
