Shutting it down..

[Verix]

i was thinking of ways to shut down local mc donalds, wal-mart etc then i thought would it be good to shut these down or bad on one hand your making the company lose quite a bit of of money on the other hand people rly on them for jobs to feed there familys? what your thoughts?

[Led Zeppelin]

What? You want to shut down places of work and thereby cause dozens or maybe hundreds of workers to lose their jobs because you want the corporations to "make less money"?

My thoughts are that this is a very stupid and reactionary idea, and it won't work. Not only the bosses, but also the workers, won't let it happen.

Instead, why don't you work on unionizing the workers there so that their working conditions are improved and they get higher pay? Seems a lot more productive and....progressive.

[pastradamus]

Its the workers who will suffer first. Walmart and Mcdonalds are prime exploiters of their workforce at the best of times. Let alone when something happens to a Premises which forces the company to close for a while.

you're insane,comrade

guess your right, i'll have to think of something that will not harm the workers but cause the Corp. to lose money until then ill just throw all ketchup packets at my local MD's away again

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

Why bother making the corporations lose money unless it benefits workers? Even if your mighty crusade of throwing away ketchup packets (wtf is wrong with you?) manages to sink macdonolds some other shitty fast foot restaurant will take its place beause simply people like shitty fast foot resturants that appear to be cheap (including myself who eats there one every 2 months). If you want to make a difference organize the workers there by posting union leaflets round the resturant or handing them to the workers or talking to them so that they can help themselves have better conditions . If this is just some liberal personal vendetta against the big bad corparations then revleft really isnt the place to aid you with them. (Unless it involves stealing from subway).

A few locations here and there won't even dent the corporations..

all attemps to unionize fast food industrys are blocked, anybody who trys gets fired, since peaceful reform is impossable them the only other anwser is to hit themwere it hurts the most. there imcome of money and yea little some stuff may seem silly but its better then nothing, corp are the enemy of the working classe and must be fought by all meams silly or not because as long as places like wal-mart and stuff exist people will still be chained down and revolution will not happen, in order for it to succude the corp. pigs must be brought down, and if that is "liberal personal vendetta" them im proud of it, when MD's starts unionizing them i'll glady stop my attacks but i don't see that in the future

[NecroCommie]

Only shut them down if you are talking about the corporation headquarters. And if you are, burn them down while your'e at it.

The point is it hasn't hurt them, and neither have other boycotts in recent years. It seems your idea of being revolutionary is to try and put workers out of jobs or try to make working conditions harder for them. Just because some chains do not allow unionisation, does that mean we tae the lazy 'rah rah fight the powah burn them down' route or actually agitate inside and outside of the workplace?

Unionizing is tough but not impossible Macdonalds workers may risk shit from management for unionizing but they wont have a Columbian death squad murder them. Your not going to be able to close down Macdonalds if you do il send my left ball in the post to you

Hpothetically if you did all that would happen is that one store woudld close down a bunch of folk some with kids who really need employment will lose their jobs and macdonolds will open abit further away from the freak who keeps on stealing ketchup

[cleef]

as stated many times in this thread damaging those places isnt gona do much except cause problems for workers. You really wana affect the company pay these scumbags a visit :cool:
