A local high ranking politician said today he'd be happy to escort the last walmart to the border. Yes I am sure they can find lots of mexicans to work for them...we did not need walmart in the past and we don't need it now.

McDonald's does the exact same thing when someone tries to start a union.As soon as a union gets certified,somehow the store loses it's profitability and closes.These corps hate unions!

I'd gladly support your protest of Wal-Mart practice. Infact, I have never shopped at walmart in the past, and plan to never purchase anything there in the future. Infact, in light of the current situation, I would support and endorse a vocal protest to everybody I know who even would shop at walmart.
Thanks for the news!

Hey! Karlin
I began or founded three local unions during my activist years.
It ain't easy.
I wasn't a union organizer or anything like that. But it just seemed that people in the workplace always turned to me for leadership. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because I was so well read and that I was a news-hound.
When a guy had problems with his pay, he would ask me what he should do about it? I would tell him or instruct him .... but then he always would ask me to accompany him to the boss's office to help explain his case.
Then, I got tagged as a sh?t-disturber.
I was just a workplace martyr.
That is how I always got involved in workplace activisim.
I was working for the S.C. Johnson Company and one of 35 thousand employees worldwide.
I managed to get employees unionized. It cost me my job, but I won.
The company fought tooth & Nail. It was pretty tense.
After 280 thousand dollars in legal fees for the union alone, and me spending 6 solid days on a witness stand, the Ontario government ordered a union into our workplace.
What I could never understand was why unionized workers never seemed to vote NDP. Most of them vote Liberal. But, the Canadian Labour Congress sends 5 cents from all dues to the NDP Party. Why would anyone support a political party financially and yet not vote for them?

RE: WalMart - Store clos
I already boycott Wal-Mart. Guelph unsuccessfully tried to prevent a store from opening here, alas it will probably be operating by the end of the year. On slow work days, I sometimes entertain fantasies about throwing Molotov cocktails at it when it opens. However I will probably not do so.
Anyone know if this closure is good or bad for the town?

In my neck of the woods, unionized workers vote NDP Provincially at least, It's just been obvious the Tories where not going to be unseated if traditional voting tactics were practiced. Now we have McDolton the pit bull banner at the helm.
