More evidence that unions are about one thing, and one thing only: less work for more money and benefits. In this case, a union backed group is threatening to cripple WalMart as the holiday buying season begins.
Federal labor officials said Monday that they will decide quickly whether to support a request by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to stop a union-backed group from encouraging worker walk-outs at hundreds of stores on Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season.
The world’s largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board on Friday against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. It said that the demonstrations organized by union-backed OUR Walmart threatens to disrupt its business and intimidate customers and other associates.
It is nonsensical that people want to HURT the employer who provides them with the means to support themselves, and for whom they have voluntarily agreed to work.
