Wal-Mart said on Friday it has held meetings with U.S. store managers warning them of issues that could arise if Dimocrats win power and pass a law that would make it easier for workers to unionize, but stressed it was not telling workers how to vote.

What a load of horse manure! Workers are already complaining they have been threatened with their jobs if they show ANY support for the Employee Free Choice Act which would give workers easier access to unionize without corporate interference.

I should ask Tony what he thinks about it--he just started working nights at Wal-Mart for extra cash, and apparently they have a position in their logistics/shipping/receiving department that they are gonna give him. We shall have to see how that all turns out, I suppose

I have nothing against people who work for Wal-mart but I sure have no use for the people who own and manage those stores. It is so wrong for people to be paid so little for making Wal-mart one of the largest companies in the world.

#Walmart Stores Inc said on Friday it has warned U.S. store managers in recent weeks about the possible consequences of a labor-friendly bill backed by Dimocrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama that would make it easier for workers to form unions.

MjL ——> No corporation ought to get away with telling their employees anything about political decisions. This is an obvious threat to their employment if they are seen to be supporting a Dimocrat candidate or issue.

I rode my motorcycle to meet Tracey for supper at #Avanti in Pekin after she got off work last evening. Then we went to #Walmart to get some soda. Just one of the many reasons why I hate Wal-mart is they put the soda in the farthest corner from the door. I wonder if people really are so stupid they forget why they came and buy other junk just because they have to walk by it on the long journey to the things they really want to buy? It never fails that the most popular items are the farthest from the door. The check-out gal asked me if I found everything OK and I mentioned that I did only after walking a half mile round trip to the farthest corner of outer Wal-mart. Next time I will drive to Schnuck’s.

Sadly this is true, Americans would rather stand in line at #Walmart for imaginary savings than stand together against corporate greed, like Wal-mart.

We often have a particular theme in our discussions at Saturday evening family get-togethers —— the assumed authority of people like #Walmart store managers, cashiers, etc. I can just imagine how the following story went. It happens far more often than one might think.

“Learn more about the real Wal-mart”

That is the tag line on the #Walmart commercial blurbs where they are trying to convince the public they are a good thing for America because they give a little of their huge profits to charity.

“The Real Wal-mart”? I see a lot of irony and hypocrisy in that turn of words. Even the ad agency knows what most of us think about the “Real Wal-mart” and they acknowledge that by this defensive phrase.

In fact the “Real Wal-mart” profits by selling cheap foreign goods with poverty wage employees and corporate welfare. They are the poster child for a huge number of employees who are paid so little they work full time and still qualify for food stamps.

I could go on and on, but I think most of us know in our deepest thoughts exactly what the “Real Wal-mart” is all about. Corporate greed, worker abuse and corporate welfare run rampant.

People walk ~~Demonstrators march~~ and block traffic in a major intersection outside a Wal-Mart store during rush hour in Hyattsville. Six women were arrested ~~during the demonstration, in which~~ and about 225 people gathered outside the store against ~~to protest~~ the retail giant’s labor practices. A showdown continues between Wal-Mart and the District, where Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) might sign a bill that would make large retailers pay their employees a 50% premium over the city’s minimum wage.
