If that were widespread and a consistent tactic being used, I could agree with you. But, I don't know that and neither do you. I recall some nut going on and on about NY Sanitation Union worker conspiracy after a snow storm a while back. Completely bogus. Who knows what this in Wisc will turn out to be.
Come on bob, you could read the links I provided for you. I know you don't want it to be true but it is whether you like it or not. Go ahead and read those two pieces and then try to come up with Megyn Kelly's piece on Fox about 12:45 this afternoon. She played an interview with two brothers who didn't put up the support sign and got threatened with a boycott. Those two brothers sell and install safety systems for homes and small businesses and just can't see why not putting up the sign is saying no to the union. Can you explain that to us?
I'd go to a grocery displaying a Union support sign and load up a big push cart. At check out I'd ask if they have their Union support sign properly displayed - of course, I've already verified before entering. If they say yes, I park my fully loaded cart and apologize, telling them I won't be able to do business there.
Win/win... they can hire another Union worker to re-stock my non-purchases.
Outstanding way to deal with unions. I would like to see something like that but here we are right-to-work and unions just can't do the things they get by with in Wisconsin.
So it is OK to choose where to shop but not for a union to organize a boycott? Even Milt Friedman espoused freedom of choice. The question is how effective it will be.
You just can't see the difference between one boycott and the other? Surely you can give less support to the unions when they call not putting up a sign a resounding NO from the businessman.
Denying collective bargaining is hardly free market.
Public unions have no right or justification for CB. It is time that the rest of the country stops being asked to subsidize someone else, starting with the rest of the middle class having to pay for the benefits, salaries and cushy retirements of public union workers.

I want to stop paying for banksters huge salaries, CEO's golden parachutes, the rich who pay less in taxes than I do as well as the huge amount of money withheld from our treasury by corporations that claim their headquarters are in the Bahamas WAY before I demonize my local teachers, janitors, firefighters, policemen etc. No way will I kill the middle class to "save" it.
It seems that the union has circulated a letter to small business owners, like those who sell and keep up home protection systems are being called out to either support the union or be boycotted. I wonder how many of those public employee members work with those businesses.
When you read this story make sure to click on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story provided in it.
When will they be threatening home owners with some kind of punishment for not supporting them openly? They are down to small business owners and telling them that neutral means "no" in union talk. Godawmighty what will they do next?
And they get offended when they are described as thugs.................

Not saying I agree or disagree with the public unions and their premise here but isn't this is a bit like corporations threatening to leave a state if they don't lower their taxes?
