What do you think will happen when Wal-Mart employees
finally unionize?
One of my aids works for Wal-Mart btw and they talk about it more
than people think but if management hears it you'll be fired in a
millisecond.
One Wal-Mart store in Canada unionized and Wal-Mart simply
closed the store leaving a massive empty eyesore.
Wal-Mart doesn't provide health care unless you pay for
it.
Almost half can't afford it and the ones who do find it
doesn't cover dental or eye doctors.

Walmart DOES provide
health insurance after 6 months on the job. It also pays
$7.50/hour here. Granted, that is NOT enough to raise a family on,
but with health insurance and stock options a single person can do
it. Sure, they sell stuff from China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, India,
etc. Do you think your Dodge Charger is made 100% in
America? The engine is from Germany, the transmission is from
France and the rack and pinion steering is from Mexico. There is
not one product that is 100% made in America. Dell computers claim
to be, but the wiring is from Taiwan, circuit boards are from Japan,
etc. Sure the DVD's, VCR's and TV's are made in Asian
countries. Workers in America (and their unions) demand too high
of wages to make "Made in America" profitable.

No jobless? really? GW has sent US unemployment
to zero? That's got to be a first. When did all
this happen?
Walmart could pay for lots of stuff, then raise prices and be less
competitive. For such an intelligent man, your view on
this one really baffles me. You obviously just want Walmart gone -
I can at least understand that - free enterprise goes only so far
with you. My guess is you are for animal rights, against lab-rat
testing and a vegetarian as well. Everyone has an opinion.

I think all US-WALMART employees pay US taxes. If you
mean the Chinese workers, NO Chinese worker pays US
taxes. American companies can get on WALMART's shelves, they
just have to follow Walmart's rules. The internet is also as
great place to hawk one's wares. Bossing Walmart around is a poor
substitute for smarting up and beating them at their own game.
Are you suggesting that Walmart should dismiss all foreign labor and
hire only American workers at whatever the Americans will consent to
work for because that's the loyal thing to do? You think they
should voluntarily or be forced to hire expensive labor and live with
the losses? Are you ready to pay more for everything on the
shelves at Walmart?
After forcing Walmart to do the loyal thing, will you go after the
oil industry to roll back prices to the 1950 level? They are both
in the fantasy realm you know.
