Someone or some group in the US is running a Stop Staples campaign to encourage people to NOT purchase school supplies from Staples. The campaign is connected with the move of US Postal service outlets into some Staples stores:
Staples and the U.S. Postal Service have cut a deal that jeopardizes thousands of living-wage jobs – as well as your mail service. A no-bid deal between Staples and the Postal Service set up postal counters inside 82 of the office-supply stores in four test markets – staffed with untrained, low-wage Staples employees. Staples and the USPS plan to expand the program to Staples’ 1,500 locations nationwide.
Beyond the campaign itself, their approach is instructive on how a campaign could be waged against a gaint of a business.
Given the growing presence of Staples in Australia the Stop Staples campaign is something which could interest Australian newsagents who are involved in school booklist supply.
