How would you explain the popularity/hatred of WalMart to an non American?
Seriously as a Brit I can't see what the fuss is about surely WalMart is another supermarket like all the others right?
The hatred of Wal-mart comes from their business tactics. Their favorite thing to do is move into small towns and set up shop. Then they drive all other business out. Then they close down shop and leave the town to die from unemployment. That and they like to fire anyone for even mentioning the word Union. Want to make a the people who work at Wal-mart suffer? Print up some union propaganda the walk around the store dropping it off on shelves and such. Manager will hate you for life if he finds out.
This is exactly why I started this thread. People spouting misinformation.
Prove me wrong. Name a Wal-mart region that is unionized.
He already said Wal-marts DO NOT have unions, I don't see a problem with it. If you work at one and don't like how you're treated quit, if it was so bad everywhere Wal-Mart would not be able to attract any descent employees.
I would challenge you to come up with specific examples of your claims about thier business tacticts. Prefferably with an independant source (ie newspaper articles) to verify your claims.

All preventable if a Union was present. As for the moving in and shucking a town, that is unfortunately legal. No law specifically restricting it. A town I know that is suffering it is Port Angeles, Washington. I am done, but don't let the smiley fool ya people.
