CNET reports:

Apple's San Francisco flagship store temporarily became a scene of confusion and arrests on Thursday because of a sit-in held inside. A gathering of roughly 50 protestors were demonstrating against Apple for allegedly underpaying contract employees that work at its retail stores.

The protestors reportedly belong to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and said Apple routinely underpays contractors, such as security guards. The union also alleged that Apple hires contractors for part-time jobs to prevent paying employee benefits.

    I don't think a new category is required. I rated grandparent "Informative", because he summarized some information which would have been appropriate to directly add to the article as well. I would not rate it "Insightful" for the reasons you mentioned, and maybe you are right that it plays down the value of the article. Nevertheless it was informative to me.
