Maybe they learned the lesson from Wal-Mart in Canada(Montreal?); when they voted to unionize, the store was simply closed. Now they are united in unemployment...

They did that too to my neighborhood in Vancouver BC before I left for the 57 states. The commie bastards on the city council made Wal Mart lives so miserable they made sure they were on the outskirts of the metro area.

They were there to protect the canadian version of WM which is Zellers.

The funny part? Zellers has been bought out by Target. And because PM Harper is a conservative, now’s the best time to handle those union thugs and give em a dose of their own medicine.

That's what I was thinking too... Target did make it clear that there was no guarantee that the store would stay open if it became unionized. Perhaps the workers wisely took heed of this not-so-subtle warning.

On another note... I remember reading somewhere that whenever a union would try to organize a McDonald's in Canada, McDonald's would simply hire a bunch of extra "workers" to work just for the day of the vote... and vote no. :)
