Striking is one thing, but targeting an individual company is another. They are not striking, they are selectively denying a critical service to force submission.

It is not hard to imagine scenarios where this is weaponized with horrifying outcomes.

Anything can be weaponised with horrifying outcomes. (Your kitchen knife, radio, rats, automatic rifles, democracy)

The thing to look at: actual track record (positives vs negatives).

How many tragic events happened due to Swedish sympathy strikes targeting a company?

"It is not hard to imagine scenarios where this is weaponized with horrifying outcomes."

Well, it is for me to imagine - could you expand on "horrifying"? The Mirriam W definitions don't seem to make sense when used in your particular context.

WE are firemen. Plural. It's not the decision of a single employee.
