Thread Name: BS: Good news for Wal-Mart organizers?
Subject: RE: BS: Good news for Wal-Mart organizers?
Well, YES, that's a hard one to answer. If you mean would it be all right for WalMart, Sears, K-mart and J.C. Penney's to go together to prevent unions. I think that's been tried, and has been determined to constitute unfair labor practices.
But for individual workers to group together to prevent a union from coming into a shop, I think that's done all the time. Often, old time employees with years of senority will lose benefits and bonuses and things under union organization. If they have the clout, the union fails to organize.
