Washington, DC - L. Toni Lewis, MD, Chair of SEIU

You will find em out front of every Wallies in the country this week, with a petition or so to sign on to, nothing to indicate SEUI, not a glimmer, ask em about it.

Ask your Wal-Mart manager, "who are those folks out front & what is the Direct Care Job Quality Improvement Act"

Looks like WalMart has battered wife syndrome.

And if he says he doesn’t know or makes any excuses, tell him he’s a damned fool and you want to see an assistant manager, who might know. Embarrass the guy. To hell with wimpy idiots.

Gosh, if Wallyworld has gone over to the dark side, it must be all over.
Go ahead and change the name USA to CSA, Communist States of America.
I feel for you folks that have to stay.

"what is the Direct Care Job Quality Improvement Act"

Who the hell cares what it is! If it was purposed by an American politician then we can only assume the polar opposite of what it suggests.

Let me be clear . . . (LOL), lets pass the "Truth in Naming Acts- Act"! Wouldn't that be a frick'in hoot? How does the "We Nationalized the American Health Care System Act sound? Not to your liking? How about the "If You Just Had a Heart Attack, We'll be with You Before You Know it Act? And the list goes on . . .

I've really taken to shopping at Wal-Mart these past few years. There are at least six of them, each with their own noted similarities and differences, that I have frequented for one reason or another, adding up to a considerable sum during that time.

No more. Not a dime, not a farthing will I spend at any merchant who conspires to contribute to the devolution of this Republic.

This steady march toward reducing the American people and steadily herding all of us onto a reservation, making us over into chattel, may well succeed, in the end. But not while I live.

I have not kept up with Walmart’s corporate structure
since the late 70s, but if they have gone over to the dark side, Sam must be rolling in his grave.
Does anyone know how much Walton family still has any control?

No it won’t. It will just make the Chinese goods more expensive.

Develop a sense of humor if you want to be seen as human.

GREAT!

I hope it raises the prices so high that we can start making TV's in the US again!

And being Union will greatly diminish Walmart's efficiencies too!

“Go ahead and change the name USA to CSA, Communist States of America.”

Sorry, the domain name “CSA” is reserved, and NOT for communists. Let me suggest Unionized Socialist States of America.

“No more. Not a dime, not a farthing will I spend at any merchant who conspires to contribute to the devolution of this Republic.”

Write them at every corporate level. Post ads or get billboards. They are VERY sensitive to public relations. That is why they are increasingly susceptible to the tail wagging the dog in the past ten years or so.
