What would be the legality of using stock shorts to fund a labour strike? I'd imagine having all workers walk out would be pretty effective in tanking the stock price, and letting those workers know that they'd be fully funded for any time on the picket line would be huge for solidarity. One could imagine that timing a strike around predetermined stock based compensation executive payouts might provide a bit more incentive to get to the negotiation table.
