The UFCW has been desparately trying to unionize Wal-Mart for years. It's their only goal. Union members be damned for all they care. They just want those dues.<BR/><BR/>With rare exception, when a vote does come up in a Wal-Mart, the employees vote the UFCW down. In a Wal-Mart up in Canada, the employees voted the UFCW in. Wal-Mart then announced that the store was not profitable and would be closing.<BR/><BR/>I still smile when I think of that!! Go Wal-Mart!! I am so proud of that company for standing its ground.<BR/><BR/>I have never voted either for or against a union, but nevertheless, in my state, if you want to teach you MUST either join the union or pay for the union.<BR/><BR/>One vote, once. Once an organization is unionized, it takes an act of God to get them out.<BR/><BR/>The funny part is, Wal-Mart pays its employees better than most unionized retail stores. Why would the employees vote to pay those dues and make less money.<BR/><BR/>We need to get a national "right to work" law passed to get us out of this "forced association". I thought the 1st Amendment addressed this?<BR/><BR/>Rant is over. For now.<BR/><BR/>Zami :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1112513253487851432005-04-02T23:27:00.000-08:002005-04-02T23:27:00.000-08:00This post has been linked at The Education Wonks. ...This post has been linked at The Education Wonks.
