Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A primary boycott is when a group avoids purchasing goods or services directly from the company involved in the labour dispute. In this case, the union is calling for a boycott specifically of Gainesville Brewery products, making it a primary boycott. A general boycott would be a more wide-ranging boycott of multiple companies or industries. A secondary boycott would involve boycotting other companies that do business with Gainesville Brewery, and a public boycott does not exist as a distinct type of boycott.
