Walmart is no different than any other company. If a store is not making its numbers, if its too small, if its uneconomical then the company closes it and fires the staff. It's a business, not a charity.
Your right on that. It still amazes me that people think a business is there to give them what they want....I remember when steel was big business in the US. Unions priced themselves out of a job..When you can buy steel oversea's and ship it to the US and truck it to where your business is and its cheaper than buy American steel, something is wrong with the way people think.. Unions were needed at one time (decades ago) but they started out with safety in mind and then it became money and benefits....
Big unions are as bad a big government...Screw the employer (or the citizen) its all about them..
My husband was on both sides of that coin, Union Steward CWA and then management...Some of the things that a few of the union members put in a grievence for were stupid...
