Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait for kellynla to put in his same old 2 cents about the "Chicoms". But I see we have a new one with the union talking points here, bipolar.
They all hate free choice. It perplexes me why they all think Walmart is the only company importing goods and not paying the same wages as other retailers. The union talking points fail to say who, other than the state, would be paying these employees if Walmart would just close up. It's hard to imagine that over one million people work for the company against their will.
The only real fact is that unions are dying and their last real hope is to unionize the retail industry and Walmart is the target, they need the dues and don't give a damn about the employees. The article did an excellent job of pointing out the benefits of the Walmart business plan to much of the country, the only loser is the union. Too bad.

That's so true. They're so desperate they're targeting small privately owned business who employee less than forty to fifty people! Tragic

BINGO!!!!!!!!

And that goes for your entire commentary.

Our newest union goon doesn't seem to understand that there is not necessarily a manufacturing base in every region in this country. Around here, unless you work for the government or are in a profession(medical, legal, finance, teaching), employment is VERY limited; agriculture, which is seasonal, fishing, which is also seasonal, poultry which is nasty work, or retail - that's it.

If I had to go back to work and my choices were retail or poultry - I'd be applying at WalMart in a heart beat...but I would be waiting for quite a while. Opennings at the local one are few and far between, and the waiting list for jobs is about 2 years long.
