Could you please clarify your point? I presented the first two sentences you quoted as an elaboration on why the Swedish CEO taking a dab at unions was surprising to me, so yes it is indeed a reason. I have a feeling that's not what you meant though?
My point is that that negative opinion is the reason why they don't speak their mind honestly.
No point speaking honestly in an environment where they can be punished for doing so, either socially, or legally, particularly when speaking provides them no benefits.
