The Unionized grocery stores who are trying to compete with WalMart are going out of business because of "healthcare" expenses and other perks the Unions are trying to force employers to pay.

If Unions want to put good companies out of business they should keep up the campaign. WalMart should close their doors and let these people find work elsewhere. Let's see how fast they are invited back for those "low wages" they are paying.

The same people demanding these perks for these workers are the same people who probably make millions from the Unions.

Wal*Mart just flat does not like unions. I'm sure you remember what happened in the Wal*Mart store in Canada where the union had finally managed to gain a foothold? Wal*Mart closed the store :)

Actually, the employers don't pay anything...It's the customers that pay...The employer divides the spoils...

And in this case, Wal-Mart has found that it can keep more of the spoils and let the state (we taxpayers) foot the medical bills...

If the States reform their Medicaid practices, I can see Wal-Mart going union...
