It'd be hilarious if it weren't so very wrong.

Um, you need to back up here. YOU are the one who claimed the Koch brothers and Monsanto should not be boycotted because they support Unions. I questioned your contention and asked for information, which I still am not getting.
What I
actually said was
Don't forget that many of those products are union-made.
Nothing about Koch or Monsanto offering unions "support." Nothing about saying these companies "should not be boycotted." Good God, warm up a little bit before you take a leap like that next time, will you? I then provided several common brand names of products, so people can make an informed choice.
A thing about boycotts: union members and supporters tend to be careful about such things, and don't call for them often, especially if it's at the company level such as this one and not targeting a specific product, plant or process. Also, choosing to buy another union-made product over these union-made products is not a "boycott." It's OK -- you can still buy union-made products without buying these particular union-made products. You just have to do your research.
Sabrina:
No where did I ever claim anything but the truth about the Koch Bros. and Monsanto, which is THEY ARE ANTI-UNION and SHOULD be boycotted, anything they produce should be boycotted. Then YOU dropped in to try to discourage this campaign by claiming that the Kochs and Monsanto suddenly became union supporters and we should not be boycotting them.
It's possible to oppose unions as a corporate policy and still be stuck with them on your shop floors because of takeovers, organizing campaigns, the will of the people or simply it's been there a long time and the relationship is generally good. Stop lying about me saying that Koch and Monsanto are "union supporters" and we "should not be boycotting them." Because that's straight-up bullshit that I never said.
Knock yourself out with your boycott. More power to you. I just want people to be aware that by following this boycott, they are boycotting union-made products. That's important to know and understand, and something I will not do.
