Wal-Mart: Direct Evidence It Hates Unions
In Quebec, where some 40% of the working population is unionized (~29% for all of Canada), they are closing a store because it unionized.This, of course, goes along with shutting down a meat section in a TX Wal-Mart cause the meat packers unionized. This is part and parcel of how they do business.
So, instead of paying it's workers fair wages and negotiating in good faith, it closes stores. They are already the #1 retailer in Canada. The Walton children are 4 of the wealthiest people on the planet, each worth over $20 BILLION, and they wont give people real 40 hour work weeks, with benefits and stuff.
They're just a bunch of pussies if they can't handle a little local union in Quebec.
[Update: NPR had a story about this today on Morning Edition, according to my wonderful wifey - 5/4/2005]
