Someone already explained the purpose in one single sentence in this thread. It demonstrates to owners and other workers that some workers are organizing and willing to use their aggregate power.

If the action doesn't lead to change, then all you have demonstrated is that workers organizing is ineffective and not something which the company should fear. Its the owners that the aggregate power is far less than they may have feared.
