Can Teamsters and ILGWU help out with boycott of Hobby Lobby

I am not sure that a consumer boycott would work by itself. A lot of conservatives will be motivated to pick up the slack. However, if HL can't get their stuff from China, that will hurt it tremendously. It will blow their cost structure up so that no matter how many RWNJ buy their stuff, once inventory goes, they are out of luck. Just don't unload the ships from china.
Even a work slowdown would hurt HL.


Time to realize we are all in this together. Unions, women, gays, working class, seniors.

Time to beat the war drum and gather e clans
