Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
Slag--


Well, if Walmart hadn't driven the other stores in your area out of business, you'd have other options. (Sounds like your fantasy is wide open--if other ideas are not welcome, you'd best say why.)

And if everybody is so happy to work at Walmart, why all the lawsuits--including some which Walmart has already paid--and a huge one, by women, for underpayment?

And sorry, it's not just those evil union organizers that you seem to fear--Walmart employees themselves are not all happy little bunnies.

Even other big-box stores treat their employees better than Walmart--Costco for instance--do I have to post the comparisons again?   Why do you suppose Walmart fought the recently passed Maryland bill mandating that it pay 8% of its income to a fund for medical care in Maryland. (And so far, Walmart is winning). If they provided decent health care for their employees, the bill would not ever have come up. Interesting that you think Maryland taxpayers should pay for the medical care
for Walmart employees that Walmart is unwilling to pay itself.

Good thing you're not a Maryland voter.
