Friday AM Ethics Discussion - The ethics of boycotts

In reaction to the recent Hobby Lobby decision by the Supreme Court, activists have called for boycotting the company because of their stand related to Obamacare paying for birth control.

Bill Moyers, on July 4, wrote: "Boycott restaurants that won’t pay minimum wages to their staffs (http://billmoyers.com/content/speak-up-every-time-you-dine-out/) the way the black citizens of Montgomery boycotted their segregated buses and won."

Is it ethical to boycott? Is it unethical to continue to do business with a company whose policies you find unethical?

You are invited to join this group. Invite others! Bring your unique point of view to the group and add to the discussion. We gather in a back room of the restaurant and usually most of us order some food which is nice but not necessary.
