Walmart, indirectly, is the world's largest employer of International Longshore Workers Union members.

The ILWU is a very militant, very leftist, very powerful union whose members start at $80,000 a year and go up from there.

You'd figure Democrats would love Walmart.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

I would revise that to read: If you love what you are doing, you ARE successful."

Informative article, especially :

"Wal-Mart’s average full-time hourly wage is $10.11. Wal-Mart also announced this month that it is raising wages by an average of six percent for employees in over 1,200 of its 4,000 U.S. stores. Further, the company offers qualifying employees a menu of 18 healthcare plans, some costing as little as $11 per month. "

That is something you NEVER hear on TV or radio news - I'm going to use that on the next leftist talk show I enlighten.

Walmart is being attacked by democrats to please the unions. Walmart is the #1 company that is putting unions out of business, especially unions of large grocery store chains. The democrats are seing their #1 special interest group (unions) being put out of business by Walmart, and that spells bad news for the democrat party.

I just don't see the need to defend WalMart.

I tend to defend entrepreneurs and free market competitors when they are being attacked by socialists and labor unions. If you would prefer to side with the unions and socialists, then you are free to do so.

I wish he was in the Senate.

Perhaps the state of Georgia will be smart enough to make him governor in 2010.

WalMart is a big boy, they can defend themselves just fine.

I'm not a fan or defender of any company who is such a huge supporter China.

Even if the Unions drive up Wal-Mart's costs by getting Democrats to create legislation poorly designed to achieve it's stated goals, but instead designed to harm Wal-mart's ability to compete, they won't change the fact that a large percentage of retail items sold are imported.

The Unions have already driven up the costs of our domestic manufacturing so high that despite supply chain delays and the cost of shipping items, it just not cost effective to manufacture a great many items in the United States.

Unions are parasites. They are only needed when employers are abusing employees. The free market addresses bad employers by giving employees other options. Unions address the problem by creating a complicated set of rules that are mostly designed to make workers dependent on the Unions.

They do sometimes provide short term benefits to workers, but only if they can prevent a competitive market, because the Union itself is an expensive layer of overhead, and if they actually work out problems between workers and management they become a pointless expense.

The need to keep the workers from becoming satisfied while making sure they blame that dissatisfaction on the employer. That's not usually a difficult task, because it's man's nature to complain about their employer.

However, Wal-Mart has done a good job of convincing employees that the grass is not greener in a Union store, as have employers in most manufacturing companies that are still profitable.

Workers are rejecting unions as being crooked organizations that look after the interests of the union, not the interests of the workers. Therefore the unions are using the typical trick that liberal organizations use.

Set up a fake advocacy organization with a great sounding message that conceals their real goals. Then they start and spread conspiracy theories and prey on fear and ignorance.

Hurting Wal-Mart doesn't threaten the Longshormen. It just might change who is importing goods.

Unions are one of the main causes we have such a high trade deficit. They are not capable of reducing it without undermining their own power.

While Unions may seem good in concept, and actually can be beneficial on a small scale as long as they remain small and truly concentrate on the best interests of the local members.

Larger Unions have without exception become corrupt entities that sacrifice the well being of their members for the sake of power, control, and often wealth for the Union leadership.
