walmart on cnbc

Cnbc had a show on about Walmart tonight. People have picked on Walmart and I don't understand why. There are many companies that pay less than walmart and nobody say a thing about them.The idea about that they are anti-union is a bust too.I 'm part of ATU and we have been getting screwed by our union for years. No protection for us. They are a puppet for management. Walmart will bring jbs and support the local schools.They will also save you money when you shoop at their store. With so many companies merging and laying off people, why keep a person from working. They have great prices

That show has been on quite a few times. We have watched it several times. I wanted the pockets that the couple was trying to sell into Wal-Mart. I haven't seen them at any of the Wal-Marts I shop at.

I am a union member of AFL-CIO for the past 20 years now.. They are so great to tell ya to boycott this company, not buy this product, no shop here, etc. They always took out their cut of my paycheck, plus the union dues that I had to pay. Sometimes you had to beg them for work. I was in the construction industry. I say years where member's had to pull there annunity money to live, etc. Look what Enron did to it's employee's. I have always shopped where I want. I say leave Wal-Mart alone. I just love shopping at that store......

I caught part of the show last night but I had seen it again before . I don't know how much Walmart pays in your area but in our area it pays just the minimum wage and their turn around is very high.
I do not particularly like unions too much but if there's a union established already when I start a job, there's nothing I can do until it's re-election time.
