How large is the union labor force in your area? In MY area, with all the layoffs at Ford and the closing of one automotive plant and the downsizing of the workforce at another, it's not such a large segment of the population, and I'd not concern myself with the effects of any so-called boycott.
When I worked at the frame plant, we were UAW...and even then, we didn't concern ourselves with who hired union construction labor and who didn't. It just seemed to be a counterproductive use of our time...we wanted to have the community on our side, should any labor dispute arise [and none did while I was there], so we didn't go out of our way to antagonize the public, especially over stuff that, in the grand scheme of life, didn't mean all that much. Our local was unusual, I suppose, because we had mostly mainstream folks in charge...and only a few zealots on the fringes, who were usually simply outvoted. The local president could "suggest" we support or not support something, but we never took any orders from "on high."
So I'm guessing that the situation in your area is QUITE different.
