    The primary reason why protest events usually happen is to increase the visibility of the cause. If the protest is staged well, it will invariably make somebody look at the cause with new eyes. It simply aims for a change. Some banks are planning to implement a debit card fee every month. Bank fees are assessed to customers for various services and as penalties. There are unauthorized overdraft fees, ATM usage fees, or fees for having an account balance under a required amount. Charging the customer for no reason urged the people to complain. The Occupy Wall Street have organized a function via Facebook known as “Bank Transfer Day,” where customers of banking monoliths are being encouraged to withdraw all money, shut down their accounts and move to smaller banks and credit unions.

    Mr. O'Dwyer has been an unpaid occasional contributor to PRW, but has never been a paid staff member. Here is how you made your mistake: Since we don't allow anonymous posts on PRW, in order to identify Mr. O'Dwyer as the author when we re-post his articles (instead of having our program listi him as "anonymous,") we had to create a profile for him on PRW with a brief description. This is how he ended up on our "Staff" page. It was the only way we could provide our readers with a description of him. Nice try, though, Mr. Yann. But even in he was a paid staff member, my opinion would remain the same about PRSA policies that move the organization towards being more obscure and secretive -- the same direction that corporate PR in general is moving.
