I’m a former employee. Years ago. But I have seen, in the 4 states I’ve lived, the destruction to small business. I also am a former memeber of the Steel Workers Union. While working at my interview for Wal Mart, I was told plainly, not to try and unionize the workers. So, I have first hand knowledge of Wal Mart’s anti union stance.

Businesses have grown up around here since Walmart came in.

I hope Walmart sticks to its guns and NEVER allows the union in. My son worked for a grocery store for awhile. For some reason, the store employees were in the Steel Workers Union. He started getting their news letter. I couldn’t believe the lies and crap that were printed in that rag!

Is that what you are a part of?

Go away. Learn to think like an individual.

Unions? ~spit!~

What I have seen is Walmart Regional managers who turn a blind eye to mismanagement by district and store managers because of their PC status until it becomes so egregious that it threatens their job. I have seen company theft, misuse of company car and cc card, “alternative lifestyle” coercion, and the regular kind. And don't think they don't hold a grudge either. The ill-qualified and enchrenched upper management will blacklist you if you cause them any heartache. They also have a competitive shopping program designed to sell items below cost to destroy local business. Then all you have left is chinese junk, minimum wage jobs and substandard customer service.

By the way, I don’t support the union ideal, I just wanted people to realize there are other opinions than “walmart is the greatest!”
