Think about this next time you support CHINA,
Taiwan, Mexico by shopping at your local WALMART.

Is Patriotism alive or is the left and right so separated they have forgotten about working stiffs like you and me.
People fought long and hard not only for your freedoms but for your working rights as a LEGAL CITIZEN!

Ya how dare walmart provide products at a resonable price, allowing people to have nicer things in their lives. Those basterds also provide millions of jobs and lots of them for disabled and elderly that wouldn't be able to get a job elsewhere.

 

Labor Unions have done lots during their history in this country to help the working man... But what are they doing today?

 

Let me ask you this, WHERE are all the JOBS the small FAMILY OWNED businesses provided in your community before WALMART consumed them?
GONE OUT OF BUSINESS!!
Get a education! Walmart takes life insurance policies out on those elderly and mentally challenged employees, does not allow them to work enough hours to receive medical benefits as well!! ( Fair warning::: Watch your p`s and q`s gentlemen for I am a father of a child with Down-syndrome)

You do realize Walmarts founder while alive prided himself and his company on providing as many American made products as possible? Then his own children sold out?

May I suggest you actually WATCH the videos..They are in English, you do speak MY language don't you?

 

Trying to keep companies from selling their jobs for cheaper lower quaility labor\workmanship.

Try bankrupting US companies with outrageous pay and benefits packages which make it impossible for them to compete globally. Or supporting liberal/socialist agendas with the money union members pay in dues. Cough medicine is good. Too much cough medicine will kill you. Unions are too powerful and corrupt. They have become harmful.

 

The Government did not bail out the unions, they bailed out the Companies.

So you would work for $2.50 per hr. Instead of the (insert $ amount here) that you get paid to stay "Globally competitive"? It`s the CEO, Upper Management, that are paid on average 18 times the amount you are per year, who are bankrupting companies.

I`m showing extreme restraint here with the people who live in the "right to work for less states"

So on a different subject, how come the Government wants me to buy into their health care program, why not give me the SAME health care they receive?

By the way I am a UNION worker, but I vote both sides D\R, whomever has the concerns and works for the working class.

 

Unions aren't the only factor. But they are a factor. You can point fingers all day. It won't change the facts. Many non-union companies pay very well, and are profitable. The company I worked for last had Union workers and non-union workers. The union workers had negotiated salaries and benefits. The non-union workers were paid incentive based wages and provided benefits of equal value. I made twice as much as my union counterpart, and was three times as productive.

 

I run a family owned business in a community with a walmart and we are still in business. What made business in this country great was the business that could provide the best product at the cheapest price thrived while the ones that can't compete don't draw customers and die out. As far as working enough hours I personally know several people that work at walmart and they work anywhere from 40 to 50 hours a week, they may not have medical benefits but how many of those small business would have been able to supply medical benefits at all? I will answer for you not very many at all. Buying products out of country is a nesesery evil because 1 labor unions have jacked the labor cost in this country up, and 2 they can make products much cheaper than we can here. You can't just look at 1 side of the argument, how many people does walmart improve their standard of living because you can buy food and other products there cheaper than anywhere else?

BTW it would be GET AN EDUCATION, not "GET A EDUCATION" maybe you should take your own advice.

 

Why do you think you should be GIVIN anything?

 

IMO, GM failed because of the kungfu death grip the unions had on them. Nowadays, unions are just in it for themselves more than the member they represent.

 

FAIL

 

Odin, Bird dog (what kind of business do you own? do you compete with Walmart for business?), and 4.6 You are all correct, Companies that take care of their non-union employees are great!
But I will be honest in saying that the reason you are 3-times more productive is because you can be replaced if the boss doesn't like the smell of your farts!
Yes, i do admit protecting the twinky eating, solitare playing lazy union worker with 30 yrs while the hard working 5 yr new comer busts his but but gets layed off due to a seniority issue is wrong. But it`s their union brothers and sisters who won't be open and honest keeps them there. ( I personally believe if your a piece of crap it`s time to flush you and keep the new little turd who wants to work)

We all just want a living wage so we can work to live not live to work!
A little something left over to live on when we are too old to work but to young to die!

Odin, I`ll take your word that you out produced your counterpart as this and all my posts are never personal anyway.

The companies who are non-union that offer equal or better benefits than union shops do so to deter the forming of a union, so actually you non-union shops need the thank the labor movement as well! ( This IS fact after all)

 

After the union wage and benefit package put them into bankruptcy in the first place.

We do compete with walmart, however we know our strengths and weakneses so we do something they don't we specialize and we can produce custom product. We thought about actually selling to Walmart at one time, but the insurance cost made it uncomfortable to do so.
