They’ve also been sandbagging negotiations for the last 9 months, the union today is on a march, no strike action yet.

      Boycotting can actually hurt the union, if market conditions suddenly worsen, it doesn’t matter if it’s because of boycotts or market conditions, it takes away some of their leverage. So I wouldn’t stress it too badly.

      Organizing your own workplace and participating in solidarity events if you’re able are good things to do to help. eBay’s union has a Twitter, @tcgunioncwa I think it is, they sometimes post calls to action and such that are a good way to directly support the workers.

        I just want to add, it is useful to boycott a company if the workers are on strike, but not so much otherwise.

        not too knowledgeable on the subject but i had a similarity in mind: in chemo, sometimes to kill the bad cells, u have to hurt the good cells too, and after an afterthought, u might have to fully kill the tumor so it doesn’t metastize and spread. Ebay should be no more if its business model depends on busting unions

      Buying from your local more or less specialized (online) store, instead of from an international megacorp?
