GO AHEAD SUPPORT NON UNION WAS walmart/unions

[Guest guest]

Hello UpsNdowns,

So we should support a Company who refuses to allow their employees to

Unionize, just so they can continually underbid and under price the

Mom and Pop Stores down the street or on the Corner of your

neighborhood.

Walmart gives you these prices at a cost, and the cost doesn't come out

of their pocket or yours, it comes out of their employees pocket, or I

should say it never enters their pocket in the first place.

They are severely underpaid, just not in hourly wages but benefits

also.

They are treated like slave labor, but then why shouldn't they be, all

the clothing they purchase is made in the Sweat Shops of South

America.

The Unions of the past built this Country, they fought long and hard

to insure that laborers were treated fairly, received proper wages for

their work, and the proper benefits for their non working retirement

years.

Unions are now declining, why, well its because the citizens of America only

care about themselves. We only care about saving a buck here and

there, we don't care about the fact that the Mother working the Cash

Register at Walmart, works 8 hours a day, leaves there to go to her second

job for another 4 or so hours just so she can make ends meet, just so

she can pay high cost of child care and put food on her kids table. This is

the problem, people and companies have become greedy, they want more

bang for the buck. Not that anything is wrong with that, but it is

destroying the strong principles that Organized Labor had fought so

hard to provide.

Its time that the people of this great Nation open their eyes and see

what they are creating by their selfish ways. When Unions are gone,

we will all be making minimum wage, working two jobs, and will have

nobody to blame but ourselves. We are the ones who supported these

anti-union slave labor Organizations and one day you or your children

will be forced to work for one.

So think about this the next time you buy a shirt that doesn't have the

Union Made insignia on it. Think about what and the philosophies you are

supporting, Think

about the future you are building (or not building)for your children.

Ill get off my soap box now!
