Ah... maybe I don't have the hang of understanding this humor thing, myself. I kinda always assume I'll get flamed here. ;)
Well, what I actually meant (and wasn't being clear) was that so many people have engaged in sabotage against their employers. Management lit keeps claiming that people rarely do it out of need, but rather, "The employee feels that the business or company has wronged or mistreated them in some way." [1]
(Of course, the same lit never says, "So stop being dicks to your employees," as far as I've seen. They advocate prosecution, checking for criminal records, etc.)
So, I expect a lot of sympathy. Those who know about Whole Foods' union-busting may root for defacement that advocates STRIKE. Heck, it's probably be a lot more effective if they spraypainted the moralizing UNIONBUSTER — studies show that people are much more inclined to agree if there's a reason. (Though if they're interrupted and weren't careful, it could go wrong: UNIONBUST.)
All the best,
Tj
