[quote=jsteele]I remember back in the late 1980s when I was protesting Apartheid in South Africa. I supported the divestment movement and encouraged US corporations to pull out of South Africa. The counter argument was always, "But these corporations try to make conditions better for black South Africans. If they leave, things will even be worse." In the end, divestment was an effective tool and while it may have increased suffering in the short term (and even that is debatable), it helped improve things in the long term. The same is true here. You can limit you focus to the jobs being temporarily halted -- and this is probably one of the rare circumstances that the OP ever cared about unionized labor -- or you could look at the bigger picture.
