It is time to boycott Koch Brothers' Georga Pacific

[Maineman]

From Think Progress:

"Shortly after helping to elect Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI), Koch Industries opened a new lobbying office in Madison near the state capitol. However, little has been disclosed about the Koch lobbying agenda in Madison. The New York Times reported that Koch political operatives privately pressured Walker to crush public employee unions. But Walker’s major payback to Koch relates to environmental deregulation.

ThinkProgress has learned that the Walker administration, along with state Supreme Court judge David Prosser, has quietly worked to allow Koch’s many Georgia Pacific paper plants to pollute Wisconsin by pouring thousands of pounds of phosphorus into the water."

1. Do you know which Koch properties are non-union?

I'd like to boycott, but I understand that at least some of their companies are unionized and I don't want to punish those folks.

2. Right on! No collateral damage please. n/t

3. Good point. We are unlikely to hurt billionaires much, given how much a few billion

earn overnight at even .5%. Wage earners, yes. Billionaires, no.

Somehow, though, I doubt many union workers are involved. Do you know how we would find out?

4. They can always get better jobs working for better people.
