Leave it to Wal-mart to pull a stunt like this. They HATE unions ! Wal-mart is so cheap, they will do just about anything to keep wages down. Wal-mart founder, Sam Walton rolled in his grave a million times the way his spoiled kids are running the show.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they’ll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies — including Wal-Mart.

In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.

According to about a dozen Wal-Mart employees who attended such meetings in seven states, Wal-Mart executives claim that employees at unionized stores would have to pay hefty union dues while getting nothing in return, and may have to go on strike without compensation. Also, unionization could mean fewer jobs as labor costs rise.

Wal-Mart’s latest stunt just proves unionization is their worst nightmare.  It would mean they would have to pay workers wages that aren’t below the poverty line.  It would mean they would have to provide workers with adequate health care coverage.  Hell, it would mean they would have to treat their workers with fairness and decency for a change.

And as to Wal-Mart scaring workers into believing that if Democrats win in November, they will lose, I ask this: if you’re a Wal-Mart employee who’s making a meager hourly wage that doesn’t even cover the cost of food for your family or doctors’ visits for your children, haven’t you lost already?

While it’s illegal for Wal-Mart to tell workers who to vote for, the WSJ claimed that employees said Wal-Mart’s human recources managers told them that “voting for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama would be tantamount to inviting unions in.”
