That union tried the same thing in Thompson, Manitoba, and even managed to get another vote, which was rejected a second time as well. Unionism had cost that town enough grief in the past, they just can't get it through their heads.
In today's world, unions are strictly parasites...Union leaders feast on the wages of workers, destroy jobs and businesses, create hardship....and when the companies finally fold, these wretched people look for other victims.
FORMER UNITES STATES STEEL WORKER!
The union claims that Walmart added additional workers to the unit to "dilute" the vote...the union got ONE vote! How the union goon make such a silly claim with a straight face?
Unions died when the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic self immolated.
Not to mention the 6 that accidently voted for Pat Buchanan.
That should be 'union supporter.' There was only one.
Supporters? Supporters? Unless he is counting the jock straps in sporting goods, I only see one union supporter in that election.
What did they do? Hire 16 New employees?......
Just Like Afganistan and Iraq ;-)
"17-1 against union representation Friday"
"and Wal-Mart added employees to the unit to dilute the strength of the union supporters. "
ALL 17 ?!
HA!
Bones
The people trying to unionize Wal-Mart must be complete idiots. Colorado is about as anti-union as a state can get. People in Loveland who are working for Wal-Mart are happy to have those jobs, I can tell you. You have to make a lot of sacrifices to live around tourist areas in the Rockies.
They should have tried it California. Those people will fall for anything (no offense, guys).
Typical Democrat infested union response, poor babies!
Wal Mart should just have a standing policy, any store that goes union is CLOSED. Enough said.
Having personally watched (for over 30 yrs) the UAW destroy the US car industry all I can say is GO WAL-MART!
Ah, good old UFCW Local 7, messing up again. For the last week or so, I've been hearing Dave Minshall declare on local radio how great this victory will be for the union and, lo and behold, he was wrong again. Minshall has also been one of the prime movers towards behind encouraging the workers at the big 3 local Supermarkets to strike, a move that the national boys have quietly warned against.
Come to think of it, I don't remember a successful strike by Local 7 in the past 20 years. They keep having to slink back to the bargaining table after a few weeks. But I'm sure that it has nothing to do with Minshall's leadership.
Too bad for the union that this was in Colorado and not Washington state. Had this election been in Washington, then the first recount would have shown the union lost 18-13, but then the next recount would have shown the union winning 21-20.
