Wal-Mart files US labor charge against union

The retail giant and my labor union are preparing to do battle. We believe that wal mart workers have the right to be unafraid to organize, and that by organizing they can secure better wages, benefits, and working conditions. The giant counters that "We are taking this action (an unfair labor charge against the union)now because we cannot allow the UFCW to continue to intentionally seek to create an environment that could directly and adversely impact our customers and associates..."The union counters that "There's nothing in the law that gives an employer the right to silence workers and citizens.".Personally, i am pro union, since without them I would not have the wages and benefits that I now enjoy and that at age 53 I cannot be expected to compete globally with ambitious and educated 20 somethings that will work for less...given that it is their only opportunity. The world needs organized labor, or else corporations will divert most of the profit to their stockholders and upper management. Bottom line: Corporations are not people...they are certain people.Wal-Mart files US labor charge against unionEdited by Phat, : added link
