Those pesky pro union workers are being flushed out of the system! Down the sewer! Heee Heee!
Here’s the curious business strategy. Say you close down a Wal-Mart like in this example. A smart start-up company would want to move in and take customers. But then you’d worry....what if Wal-Mart does come back? And how quick could you achieve an opening? And if you did open....if the ex-Wal-Mart guys were handing over resumes....would you hire them if you knew about the union-talk from before?
I would guess that each of those ex-workers are sitting there and finding no job market for them or their skills.
Plumbing problems can be used as the reason for many stores to close down now due to minimum wage and union problems.
I look to that here I Seattle with McDonalds and others with the wage gone up to $15.00.
soetoro organizes $15 hour protesters at closed wal mart!!! err, ahh, uhh, never mind.
Walmart has enough of the market share that they can easily absorb the losses of shutting down stores in places that demand $15.00hr pay rates for every position. Their solution will be to shut down the stores in hostile territory, and build just outside the city limits, or abandon the region altogether, and take a charge against earnings.
There is a take-home lesson here for employers who might have to fire employees for various reasons including but not limited to personal grooming, appearance, or unreasonable demands, but need to be stealthy about it due to ... ahem ... legal reasons.

No doubt Walmart uses union plumbers, considering the size of their stores...so what’s the problem? After all, who wants a pipe breaking over their heads?
Poor Wal-Mart squeaked by with only enough profit to create 15,000 new Millionaires this time around...I feel so sorry for them...
And the other four? What's the reason behind them?
Remember Firestone? The old Firestone. Labor dispute. Employees sabotaged some tires. Cars crashed and people died. Ford Explorers. Remember how Firestone gave in? That’s because they didn’t. They shut the plant down.
Be careful when all you have to offer the world is your labor.
I could take any Walmart here in Phoenix, with any type of underslab “plumbing” issue and have it up and running in less than two weeks, permits and all. I’ll give it three weeks to include restocking (which would only be necessray for perishable items, but thats on the outside of duration limit) First of all, you don’t close it till the permits are ready, unless it’s a colapse. If not a colapse, but a problem drain, I’d still have time to line a a three bid contract prior to closing. The work would go on 24/7, cause every day is lost revenue. This “plumbing” problem story is the weekest cover, ever.
