It has used direct organizing campaigns, protests to the National Labor Relations Board and the courts, demonstrations at annual meetings of Stevens stockholders and an attempted nationwide boycott of Stevens products. Nothing has worked. Now the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union is trying a new pressure tactic: isolating Stevens from its friends in the business and financial community.
