Wal-Mart Shills For The Repugs

Knock me over with a feather.

Wal-Mart warns of democratic win

"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.

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."

"The meeting leader said, 'I am not telling you how to vote, but if the Democrats win, this bill will pass and you won't have a vote on whether you want a union,'" said a Wal-Mart customer-service supervisor from Missouri. "I am not a stupid person. They were telling me how to vote," she said.

Yo Pig Lip,

LOVE your work.

Where are the comments though?

You have one of the more provocative blogs around and I would think that folks that visit this site would comment occasionally.

I love your site, visit almost daily but never any comments, WTF? I know that I'm not the only visiting this site, where is everyone?

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Ian

Most of the time I am just speechless.

Or worried if I start to right something, it will just end up as a crazy rant.

The Internet is not the place for crazy rants. :^)

I don't know why this blog doesn't get more comments, Ian, but that's all right if people just want to cruise through, I think most people are pressed for time anyway. Thank you for the kind words.
Ricky - we are living in jaw dropping times, aren't we?
