To make it difficult for the management, in the hopes that they will rethink their position (or at least be punished for holding it).
Again, what's the point? Management isn't the enemy...or is that a naive position?

Thems that came up with the dress code is the enemy. (my presumption -
I am not a controller and have no dog in the fight). Sometimes it's
unavoidable if there is collateral damage in these fights, but the buck
has to stop somewhere. The idea is to make implementation of their plan
difficult.
