Vandalism is not the way to go. If these people have the support of the community, then why don't they simply stage a protest in front of the Gap instead of vandalising it, where the only people to see the results of their action are there at 9:00 AM? Or making comments on Indymedia.
Workers have a choice about where they work, up to a point. The point comes, however, when they may just have to take whatever job they can get to avoid starvation. Even in Santa Cruz, the workers are often working for so little that they have to live in part off of their savings, from previous better days. I call this "subsidizing the employer", where the worker actually pays for the privilege of working for "The Man". I gave that up, just recently, to go my own way. But I still face the reality of trying to make it in the free market economy.
