Why Wal-Mart Sucks...
...and you should shop Target. Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around
the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they'll
likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize
companies -- including Wal-Mart.
Shame on Wal-mart for trying to scare people into voting their way. From The Wall Street Journal:
In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.
According to about a dozen Wal-Mart employees who attended such meetings in seven states, Wal-Mart executives claim that employees at unionized stores would have to pay hefty union dues while getting nothing in return, and may have to go on strike without compensation. Also, unionization could mean fewer jobs as labor costs rise.
