I would not patronize an establishment that ever denied their workers basic human rights and decent healthcare options. They will suffer for their greed. However that will also hurt the workers. I don't really know the answer to this, but if corporations are being threatened with going out of business because of their greedy, hateful actions, perhaps they will reconsider their options.
