As long as they have tons of people looking for work, they will just hire new people.  It's not like these are highly skilled jobs.  No skill jobs get no skill wages.  But you will figure it out when Obama bites you in the ass.  Or are you one of those who act on emotion instead of facts?

It is them who will have to pay over $75,000.00 dollars in taxes.  Higher taxes for Obamacare and lower wages are to be had under Obama, if you can find a job at all.  Will you be willing to put up with a $20 trillion debt.

When you go on stike without a union backing  you, you are just a mob and can be FIRED. These workers are lucky if they got their jobs back.  They complained about working 19 hours a day, yet they say they aren't making enough money and most Wal-Mart workers say they aren't getting enough HOURS.  It seems strange to me that warehouse workers can't get equipment to lift 250 pounds, yet people in the stores get pallet jacks, a forklift and carts.  Sounds like they are bitching just to make EXCUSES.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">billybob44</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:12:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Denver Denies Walmart Tax Subsidies</title><link>http://makingchangeatwalmart.org/2012/09/24/denver-denies-walmart-tax-subsidies/#comment-680020505</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Looks like the poor cannot find jobs because Denver Colorado people don't want a Wal-Mart store in their area.  So what if the bosses have big cars and big salaries, they have earned their status, All people have to do is work hard and build up time and senority and they too can get big salaries.  You say it's all about the money, but it seems that you say it's all about the poor peoples money too. If Wal-Mart didn't make a profit, what would be their insentive to stay in busniess?  Would you run a busness without a profit?  And then they wouldn't hire anyone. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">billybob44</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:52:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Walmart “Supporters” Paid Untraceable $100</title><link>http://walmartwatch.org/blog/archives/walmart-supporters-paid-untraceable-100/#comment-63118280</link><description>&lt;p&gt;UNION FACTS:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today's unions are a multi-billion dollar per year industry, collecting more than $10 billion per year in union dues from workers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The majority of today's union-represented employees never voted to become unionized but must pay the union or be fired from their jobs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Union dues are used to finance the running of the union's business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are represented by a union and live in one of 28 Non-Right-to-Work States, a union can order you to be fired from your job if there is a union (income) security clause in its contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A union does NOT have to represent you to your liking and, in fact, can legally refuse to process your complaint&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a union member, if you violate a union's rules (known as the union constitution), you can be placed on trial by the union.  If you are found guilty at a union trial, the union can suspend your membership, expel you from the union, or fine you money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A union's real bargaining power comes from its ability to call you and your co-workers out on a strike.  While on strike, you cannot collect un-employment or a paycheck, but, they will give  you 'picket line' pay, if you walk the picket line, unless they hire others to do the picketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487"&gt;http://online.wsj.com/artic...&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A union can legally trade things you already have in order to get things the union wants in negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the union calls you out on an economic strike, you cannot be fired.  However, you can be &lt;b&gt;replaced permanently by your employer.&lt;b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">billybob44</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:55:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Walmart “Supporters” Paid Untraceable $100</title><link>http://walmartwatch.org/blog/archives/walmart-supporters-paid-untraceable-100/#comment-63097911</link><description>&lt;p&gt;[There is no UAW union]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, which union represents the Canadian Auto Workers, at Ford, and GM? &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">billybob44</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:53:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Walmart “Supporters” Paid Untraceable $100</title><link>http://walmartwatch.org/blog/archives/walmart-supporters-paid-untraceable-100/#comment-63094892</link><description>&lt;p&gt;[Scab Nurses's]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are SCAB nurses, but PEOPLE, who want to feed their families, without having to PAY for the priviledge, to some union thugs?

Also, notice how he won't give ANY information about himself, except that he is a businessman who has Wal-Mart as a client.  But, unlike any businessman I have ever known, he doesn't believe in 'personal responsibility' or a 'work ethic'; so I guess his employees can do anything they please and are able to blame others for their mistakes, he is 'high' on unions; usually something businessmen try to avoid, he also thinks employees (who he said need plenty of paid time off), are more important than customers; a thing most businessmen consider reversed,  and lastly, he is favorable towards 'socialism', where a true businessman would be FOR 'capitalism'.  He sounds MORE like a union plant!

His views on everything seem to be the direct opposite of what America IS and what the American people believe in.  Could it be that he is originally from a 'socialist' country and is reflecting the values he learned there?  Once, he said that we elected our representitives to 'Rule Over' us, that's not what I was taught!  And, then there is his interpretation of the Constitution!  Also, he said he has never met anybody with values like Honesty, Personal Responsibility (he really goes off on that one), Work Ethic and Loyality, therefore, he must be from somewhere else, where these things are not practiced, maybe he made a midnight run across the southern border!

They may hire people to speak up for them, but at least they don't EXTORT wages and benefits from employers and they don't have the President in their back pocket.  Take the EFCA, what is the employees 'free choice', when the union controls the outcome?  After all, what exactly is wrong with employees exercizing their 'free choice' in a 'voting booth'?

I guess in HIS little world, if you are accused, it automatically makes you 'guilty'.  Well, I accuse him of being a 'moron', so I guess it is up to him to prove that isn't true.  And, so far, he hasn't don't a very good job of it.  Even Newbie, was kind of on his side to begin with and defended him, then after WMW called him a bunch of names, even Newbie said WMW was a 'moron'.
