what I would like to ask you is why does it matter to you if they want to try and get higher wages and better working conditions. this is America right. they have the freedom to try. they may face consequences they did not want. or they may prevail. that all sounds like the American way to me.

No. The American way to get higher pay and better working conditions is to find an employer who is more willing to provide what you want than your current employer, then QUIT and tell your current employer that the guy down the street just outbid him for your services.

If enough people quit for better-paying jobs, then the employer will have no choice but to either raise pay or close. THAT is the American, free-market approach.

THAT is how this non-union guy has operated for over thirty years.

I had a union organizing drive at my business. I won. But I never begrudge those on the factory floor their right to try and organize our employees. We won because we are very conservative with our business and treat our employees well.

The American way IS for employees to take action against their present employer. The American Way does NOT limit them to just going and getting another job.

Not sure I understand the point you are trying to make or if you understand my position but I can't see why I should be taking sides in a private matter between two private parties - the employees of Walmart and Walmart. It ain't none of my damn business...or if I can be blunt yours either.

Get back to me and let me know what I am missing. We may be arguing about to serperate points entirely. FReepRegards.
