5. A DU member posted that Most Georgia-Pacific products are made by unionized workers.

Those workers are fighting the Koch Brothers in a effort to maintain decent wages. It is highly possible that a boycott will cut the legs from under those union workers and give the Kochs the leverage that they need to bust unions in Georgia-Pacific. I have used quilted northern toilet paper and Vanity Fair napkins at home for years, but started boycotting those products earlier this year. In light that my decision may have helped the Koch brothers destroy unions, I stopped my boycott as of yesterday. My next toilet paper purchases will be ultra quilted northern and I will start buying vanity fair napkins again.

I don't want to hurt unions that are standing against the Koch brother's efforts. I will find other ways to do my small part to stop the Kochs from installing their extreme rightwing dream for america.

6. Smart.

Its a long list, and I think we should know more about each company, like, what's the % of koch's interest, union situation, etc.

[FarPoint]

8. Oh boy...

That trumps the boycott. .... complicated.

[Old and In the Way]

10. Very good point..... I should revisit my paper purchases and see if they are unionized. nt

[madokie]

14. Thank you for a well thought out response

To get rid of one union the koch suckers bought out the plant and promptly closed it down.

[rhett o rick]

19. That's why we need to support the Koch Bros. competitors. nm

[rhett o rick]

18. How about the union workers for the competing brands? Dont they also deserve our support?

Maybe they work for friendlier owners.

Boycott the Koch Bros.

9. Wow. 3 kinds of toilet paper

They must need it for something, no telling what!!



That's okay--except for Dixie, I never use any of those brands anymore. It's been more difficult to find good paper plates and bowls, though I've found a few possibilities.

[caduceus111]

12. Actually four. They forgot MD brand.

MD is a GP brand.

17. LOL

They're really trying to clean up some crap!

[BlueCaliDem]

11. Done!

I used to buy only Angel Soft and Brawny, but now I'm going for the store brands.

[vaberella]

13. Damn they make Brawny...

Huh...no wonder those commercials used to be super sexist. But I love the brand. I have no problems giving it up.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. Dangit, I have a big supply of Quilted Northern

Anyway, I'll try to think of the Koch brothers whenever I use that product.

[Stuart G]

16. Please see this thread, it could help you to decide about this, thanks

20. I never buy any of those brands anyway.

I always opt for the store brands, which are much cheaper.
