Unions Going After Wal-Mart Again
-By Warner Todd Huston
Most lefties claim that “no” means “no,” but not where it concerns unions that have lost the organizing argument over and over again. We can see that refusal to listen to the workers in the case of Unions vs. Wal-Mart. Repeatedly Wal-Mart workers have generally refused to unionize, yet instead of taking that as an answer, the unions continue to push. And they are at it again.
The United Food and Commercial Workers is stepping up its efforts to organize Wal-Mart workers yet again.
Since February, about 60 UFCW organizers have been dispatched to more than 100 Wal-Mart stores in 15 states to get workers to sign union-authorization cards. The cards are attached to flyers that feature a photograph of President Barack Obama and a quote from a 2007 speech he gave to UFCW activists in Chicago. “I don’t mind standing up for workers and letting Wal-Mart know they need to pay a decent wage and let folks organize,” Mr. Obama said in 2007. A White House spokesman said Thursday that the president stands by the statement.
The union is also flying several pro-union Wal-Mart employees to Washington to agitate before members of Congress to force the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) on the country.
But here is a telling statistic:
At a Duncanville, Texas, Wal-Mart, the union has signed up 58 employees, representing a little more than 10% of the store’s 500 employees.
This is a common union result at Wal-Marts all across the country. The unions just can’t get traction and that is why they want the iron boot heel of Congress to force the matter with the EFCA.
Like I said above, to unions “no” does not mean “no.” The unions don’t care what workers want. They want to win by force of law.

I don’t care if unions go to Walmart or not.
I am just not going there.
Walmart has been the one saying no to workers rights over and over.
Walmart drags union certification on and on in the legal system for years. Then they claim that only 10% (as an example of the associates left) signed cards. This is dishonest but what else would Walmart do.
That is WM’s style.
Walmart workers need a union.
I will always go where the prices are cheaper (Wal-Mart, Target, etc). If the workers want to have union jobs, then let them work at places that all ready have unions. Personally, I find unions to be the personification of mismanagement and corruption.
Man, the trolls are out in force…
Hey Warner, where exactly is the ACLU in this non-issue?
The unions operate just like Obama–by any force or deceit necessary to subjugate others.
Warner:
Keep working for substandard wages and benefits. How many Illegals do you employ? How many American Made products do you sell? How is your Pension and Medical (I’m guessing non-existent). How well are your employees trained? How are their benefits? Sounds like a no-brainier to me.
