      As far as I’m aware, neither of the striking unions have called for a consumer boycott.

          He clarified his words after some people naturally started to take it a little too literally, but I don’t think he needed to.

          Whoever that “anonymous exec” was who said they wouldn’t even start to negotiate until strikers started losing their homes deserves to be pilloried.

            Pretty sure this walk back is simply because of the legal implications. It’s pretty obvious what he meant.

            Pillory is too nice for them.

              Idunno, the pillory could get pretty brutal if the crowd was sufficiently riled up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to bring stones or bricks.
