Walmart Is Working with the FBI and Lockheed Martin to Spy on Striking Workers

1. Does this mean that the FBI considered the Occupy movement to be a terrorist movement?

Because I understood that Occupy in the areas it controlled did not allow weapons or violence to the extent that it was able to prevent their presence.

Does the FBI watch right-wing groups like the Tea Party with the same techniques that it was apparently willing to use on Occupy?

Was the FBI involved because they anticipated violence on private property? Were they especially watching Occupy activists?

Something strikes me as questionable about the FBI's part in this, but I'm not sure yet just what it is.

What groups does the FBI watch? What groups does the FBI ignore?

What exactly was the FBI's role in this?

How are labor groups to organize and strike and reach the public when they are watched in this way and retaliated against quite possibly?

This is something we need to watch very carefully.
