POB Update: Riots

[Thyrzul]

The C.W.U demands that all POB crew are treated with respect by POB owners. They only ask to stop being denied Food, Oxygen and Water. Their demands will never be very difficult to fulfill, however if you try to outsmart them by regularly not meeting their demands and continuing to treat them like dirt, their demands will exponentially rise.

Define "meeting demands and continuing to treat them like dirt". From previous context "treating like dirt" seemed to mean the opposite of "meeting demands", after which the above quote seems confusing. I assume "treat like dirt" either means something else specific (at which case I would like to know what exactly), or just a phrase used here for the sake of "roleplayishness" and the exponential rise of demands is an automatic thing, in which case riots become an inevitable element of the everyday life of a PoB owner. Which one is the case?
