Walmart has no problem allowing unions, so long as they are Communist Chinese unions.

Aren't these the same people Costco buys from?

Yeah, but Costco isn't complaining about Unions here, and embracing them there.

That's because the unions are going after Walmart first, then on to Target and Costco. You are naive.

Or is it that the Unions are going after Walmar first because they have fostered an atmosphere that the Unions can captialize on. By paying a their employees a decent wage and providing benefits, Costco also removes a big reason for the Union in the first place. Ever think of that? Of course you didn't.

Well genius, if conditions are so bad at Walmart, how come no UNIONS have won in the US? Maybe the employees don't feel they are treated as bad as you liberals think they are? Ever think of that? I doubt it, too complex for a liberal.
