Yes, I’m sure that welding the doors shut on opening day will really stick it to the man. It certainly won’t horrify the minimum wage employees who go in there to work.
What an unbelievably stupid thing to advocate for, much less under the guise of non violence.
Of course there are a million better ways. You could gather some money an pay the employees to strike, for instance. It should depend very heavily on your target. My point is just that if companies are organizing against you, you should organize against the companies. Symmetry. Deterrence. Doing it well... well that's a life's work. The goal is to get the ball rolling and incrementally improve, not expect people to become Ghandi overnight. And at the outset, the credibility of the threat you can present is more important than the direct applicability of your action. We're not even at the point where "how strong of an action is warranted?" is a conversation. So step one is starting that conversation.
