If you found this out about a business...?

If you found out that a union was protesting a particular business, even in another state, would you boycott the business?

Would it depend on why they are protesting?

Would you go out of your way to go to the business to support them?

Would you not care one way or the other, and not change your life over the protest?

Would the location matter? Would you support the union in your own state but not one from another state?

    I'd find out both sides of the issue before I decided if I as going to give them my business.

    The disagreement is between the union workers and management. I will not support unions that are striking or protesting. In today's economy, they should be thrilled to have a job at all.

    I would not change my life over a protest. If it was my local grocery store, I would continue shopping there. In fact, I would get some pretty good deals for coming in. Sure prices will go up once the strike is over, but they are going to go up whether I shop the deals now, or wait and shop later. If the union doesn't want me shopping there because they are having a disagreement, then don't expect me to continue shopping there when you have finally settled. If they aren't good enough today, they aren't going to be good enough tomorrow! That is my humble opinion.

    The only time I would boycott a business if they have bad products and horrible customer service.

    Also if they were crooks.

    no, I would not support a union. they are here only to raise wages for the workers because they themselves get "union dues" so any raise helps them, too.

    I would shop there regardless. Not my issue and don't pull me into it.

    I don't boycott anything. Blacks usually boycott things.
