perhaps people just don't read or watch/listen to the news enough then.

Some people have more important things to do than watch the news and 800 dramas/sitcoms 24/7. I watch the morning news as I get ready in the morning, and I think the other day they had about a 20 second blurb about it, and I might not have even caught that, except they repeat their stories every 1/2 hour. And even then, it was more about the protest demonstrations then the actual strike.

But then these people wouldn't even care about the strike...they don't really watch TV.

I don't quite understand how sending out info in a press release (to be covered by newspapers, TV, internet, etc.) satisfies your desire for a "silent" protest. If anything, I think carrying signs and protesting yourself (instead of allowing media outlets to protest for you) is more silent than what you're suggesting.
