Civil disobediance

I believe it is fair to break the law as long as it doesn't improve any condition of the public or if it makes the matters worse for people. I would define an unjust law as a law which is not culturally or universally accepted. According to my point of view, if the government acting ignorant and careless, civil disobedience is the only choice. For instance, the cause for Mahatma Gandhi's salt march was to boycott the heavy tax imposed on salt, which was crucial for typical Indian meals. A group of workers who doesn't agree with a product manufacturer  and starts a sit- in in front of the company  could be described as an act of civil disobedience.As a whole I agree with the statement "an unjust law is no law at all".
