Hmm... Okay, here's how I see things playing out in this context:

SDC is a crossover company bearing the characteristics of several (real-world or otherwise) corporations: the De Beers corporation (South African company that mines some 90% of our world's diamonds), Gazprom (Russian oil company well known for being a Kremlin proxy; I'd like to draw your attention to the way they deal with Greenpeace and other environmentalist groups), Umbrella Corporation (Resident Evil's shadowy cosmetics company whose products cause holy hell to break out), just to name a few. They MAY (or may NOT) employ Faunus laborers in a slavery-type setting, and that's enough for the Faunus to start protesting. However, SDC (if it were a human) is overly maniacal and therefore shoves back. This leads to the rise of White Fang as a terrorist group freakishly similar to Al-Qaeda or Hezbollah or Hamas. We all know Blake is an EX-member of the group, and we all know Weiss is SDC's heiress apparent, so I agree with whoever said they only have their halves of the full story.

So, now that the background's all set, let's see what may happen when we all ask the question, "Tell me how this will end." Here's how I see this coming down: it gets revealed that Beacon is actually a training school set up (by SDC) to come into the SIA ranks upon graduation. Somewhere along the line, an Edward Snowden-type whistleblower comes forward with conclusive evidence that SDC is in flagrant violation of whatever laws they have in Vytal. White Fang uses this to launch a sustained campaign (perhaps even going so far as to use suicide bombers) against SDC and the SIA, which is revealed to function in a similar fashion as the Nazi SS. SDC, in turn, uses the SIA in far more brutal repression of White Fang. In the middle of all this Weiss has a major decision to make: whether to support her family or newfound friends (inclusive of Blake, who has problems of her own); perhaps THIS, not the Giant Armor fight, is the "royal test" referred to in the song Red Like Roses. Blake, on the other hand, has to choose between returning to Adam and White Fang or sticking with her friends (inclusive of Weiss). For the sake of this post I'm going with both sticking with their friends. Their decisions cause both SDC (under Weiss's lunatic martinet father) and White Fang (under most likely Cinder) to turn on Beacon, thus setting up a three-way civil war. This only ends when Weiss's dad and Cinder BOTH fall (possibly in the same battle), which puts both Weiss and Blake in positions to affect a fundamental change in the situation, the end result of which would probably be equality for both humans and Faunus and the break-up of SDC as we know it.

It's just my theory, but you all are welcome to add to it if you so wish.
