"To make a point of" something is to really emphasize it, and make it very noticeable and obvious. In this case, "the company made a point of stomping on" the employee = they publicly punished/reprimanded/scolded/etc the employee where other employees could see (so that they would learn not to do the same thing).
"So much as" in this example it is used to emphasize that the action of just suggesting forming a union is a small one. The employee did not actually form a union! They just suggested it (a small action), but even though it was only a small action, it was enough for the company to get very angry.

@kt789 can i use the expression ''so much as'' wherever the word ''even'' could be used to add emphasize? by the way, can you let me know if i made any mistake asking this question as well?

@Asulra Yes your question was clear!
Hm, I wouldn't say you can *always* substitute them, but yes sometimes they can be substituted.
"Even" is more commonly used, and it has more meanings and usages.
For example:
He was so angry that he wouldn't so much as look at me. = He was so angry he wouldn't even look at me. (same)
BUT
He didn't even like chocolate =/= He did not so much as like chocolate (wrong, only "even" is ok here).
