I wonder if your local Darden restaurant staff would applaud your efforts if the end result was their place of employment being shut down due to reduced business. Are you really fighting for the employees at that point, or is it just a "stick it to the corporation" maneuver?
Ideals are terrific, if you can afford to have them. Watered down porridge beats starvation esp if you have kids who have to eat too.
Not trying to be argumentative, but that's a lot of people who depend on the income. If they walked en masse, I think it would be the better option than having the public making the situation worse by directly affecting their incomes. At least they would make the choice.
Remember that Market Basket employees made a difference because they walked.
