2. Should the merged product doctrine be applied in this case to declare that the union’s product picket action was unlawful?

Explain your reasoning. A union engaged in a lawful economic strike against the Brown Bag Company

(the primary employer) decided to establish a product picket line at the site of the Stop

& Shop grocery store, a secondary employer who used grocery bags produced by the Brown Bag Company. Although the Stop & Shop grocery store does provide boxes instead of bags to a few customers who specifically request a box, the vast majority of grocery items are carried from the store in bags produced by the Brown Bag Company.
