Wal-Mart opposes OBAMA!

People who can not advance themselves through merit or by making a more valuable contribution do love unions. This is the same mindset that loves socialism. Union leaders are just like politicians. So, the long story short is that you are right. LOL... did I tell you my wife is a shop steward? Yes, it is true. But don't worry she knows the problems with unions better than us. She ran for office to get rid of the shop steward they had. Now, my wife catches crap from the union because she gets problems solved with the boss without any paper work or gievances being filed. There's a problem? They they work it out immediately. Saves time and more work gets done. Everyone's happy about this except the union higher ups. They want documentation to prove management is a bunch of meanies instead of hard working people just trying to get a job done, too.

In the case of General Motors, which is losing money hand over fist, the union and management's incompetance at dealing with the union absolutely is what is destroying the company. Which is sad, as my 2004 Chevy Impala is an excellant car that had a good price. I'd gladly buy another but I don't expect this one to wear out anytime soon.

gm is going broke not because of unions but the failure to aggressive market hybrid cars

I am a former stockholder of Wal-Mart. My mother worked at Wal-Mart for many years, and I follow the business news. This experience tells me that Wal-Mart is very anti-union. Even to the point Wal-Mart is strongly suspected of closing individual stores that had the potential of forming a union. Yes, this is against the law, but Wal-Mart always gave another reason for closing the store.

I have never worked there. I doubt unions would solve any problem with Wal-Mart, they seem to create more problems than to solve them. Around here Wal-mart pays what is a fair wage (compared to other business in the area) and they even pay health insurance for the part times. If Wal-mart is unionized, then they would have to unionize Target and other large "discount" stores.

I agree unions would not solve any problems at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart actually is one of the best run companies there is.

Sounds to me like you are completely on the money. I'm not aware of any company becoming more profitable after a union.

Without a doubt, unions are an absolute necessity. Not that all companies should have a union, they shouldn't. However, all companies should know that their employees could form a union if they wanted. As to Wal-Mart, my mother worked at one for something like 15 years. She loved it, but it was her first job. She did not have anything to which to compare that experience. I told her some of the things she related to me about her job broke labor law and she did not believe me, until finally she found another job closer to home. After that, seeing how other companies operated, she decided not to ever work for Wal-Mart again. BTW: I am not anti-union. My wife is a shop steward. As an independent trucker I had numerous conversations with Teamsters and use to deliever to a Ford plant and interacted with UAW members. I have seen the good and the bad of unions.

Jeesh... I can't stop shopping there. Every place else near here is more expensive.

I actually have more complaints about big government than anything else. No one kills more innocent people than big government.
