Secondary Boycott Legal Meaning and Definition

Here is a simplified definition of the legal term Secondary Boycott.

Secondary Boycott (noun): A strategy in which an organized protest or action is taken against a company, not due to a direct disagreement or conflict, but because it does business with another company that is involved in some form of labor dispute or strike. In other words, a secondary boycott targets and may lead to the boycott of businesses that deal with the company where the dispute is taking place. As an instance, if there is a labor strike at Company XYZ, those participating in the secondary boycott may refuse to buy goods from another company, ABC Corporation, simply because it does business with XYZ.
