Lately I have been hearing a great deal of negative reports about Walmart.

Why do you suppose that is?

Yes, they still are not unionized.

Is this starting all over again?
There are a bunch of Union shills/operatives/paid_trouble_makers_out out there who will try to hit Walmart at any chance they get.
It was tiring then and is still just as tiring now.

It’s a number of things.

True, Walmart is still on the media’s hit-list for being non-union.

But looking at Walmart’s 10-K filings between this year and 2012, they’ve opened 137 new stores in America, while at the same time losing approximately 100,000 employees (an average loss of 36 employees per store). At the same time, lots of those workers have had their hours cut from full-time jobs as a response to the health care law, because Wal-Mart simply wouldn’t be able to afford it and keep their prices low.

The result: less manpower, less time to get things done. Which is why we get news stories of empty shelves, stuff put in the wrong area, long lines, and all sorts of things that make shopping at Wal-Mart a negative proposition.

It sucks for everyone, but that’s the economy for you.
