WalMart - Store closing over unionising, Boycott called

[Jay]

"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."


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.

Is the WalMart store in Quebec being closed in order to make the store profitable, or is it union busting?

How can the closing of a store make it profitable?

The capitalist ideal where market economies must strive to lower prices is not what is going on here

The “capitalist ideal” is to sell a product or service for what the market will bear. Supply and demand.

WalMart also provides NO affordable Health-Care.

Izzat right? Is there a law in Canada requiring private companies to provide health care? Is so, then why have not Canadian authorities made arrests?

WalMart gets special tax-breaks in most of the cities that they move into, tax-breaks that are not afforded the smaller "Mom & Pop" stores and other business that they eventually run out of business.

Why is that? Why would your wonderful government do this to you? Could it be the local economy gains much more in the taxes paid on the goods sold, than it gives away in “special tax breaks?”

Any WalMart employee who gets "caught" exploring "in any way" the possibility of bringing a union into WalMart is immediately fired.

So? Unions hurt companies. You are a business owner. An employee of yours is attempting to hurt your business. Would you keep that employee or fire them?

I would like to see unions police all their membership and any member caught shopping at a Walmart,be outed from the local and ,of course,lose his or her job.

Well of course! Let’s see intimidation and coercion from unions! If a union employee doesn’t agree, just take their job away…and their freedom to choose.

I thought it was the government’s job to do this anyway. Since they do such a shit ass job of it, why haven't we made any arrests?

Well of course! Let’s see intimidation and coercion from unions! If a union employee doesn’t agree, just take their job away…and their freedom to choose.

Classic socialist thinking here. And they wonder why I don't trust them?

I read with interest the fact that the Saguenay,Quebec Wal-Mart has indicated they are going to close the store in the spring. I think that here is excellent opportunity for the union to jump in and show them who is the boss.

It is evident that the union bosses think that there is a profit to be made in retail and they should jump in with both feet. Buy the store in Saguenay and operate it as a Wal-Mart, Subsidiary store. I am sure that Wal-Mart will let the union buy the land and building, the inventory, the fixtures, lock stock and barrel. The union should have management people in place that they can pay the $150,000 each, per year to work at the store and just think, they could also unionize the McDonald’s there. Hey, kill two birds with one stone.

I am sure that with their power of suggestion they will be able to convince their workers that a modest increase in union dues to say, 20% of your salary will be a good thing. In response to the request for union dues of 20%, the union could pay each of the employees a modest $30 per hour, starting salary. Work up from their. Man, even after paying 20% of your salary to the union, the workers could still be making a staggering $16. +- more that at Wal-Mart. That would be so lucrative for the union. Never before have they been able to earn 20% union dues.

This should be the dream of the lifetime for the union, be your own boss in retail. Hey, if you need more money to pay your employees, just charge more for the products being sold. Also, you could have some union police at the door, to check for union cards to make sure that non-union customers are not welcome in your store. That is what some of you are suggesting in the above articles.
