BOYCOTT: An organized effort to reduce the sales of a particular good that's intended to punished the producer or seller. Boycotts are promoted by labor unions to inflict harm on their companies and (hopefully) encourage their employers to settle labor distributes.

Some groups, for example, have called for boycotts of the products advertised on "undesirable" television shows, while others have boycotted companies that do business in politically "undesirable" countries.
