Choose Wisely When Selecting Retailers
Updated
On: Nov 29, 2009 (12:27:00)
As members of Organized Labor it makes real sense to patronize those organizations that believe in and support the fundamental rights of employees to organize and form a union. Legislation is currently before Congress (Employee Free Choice Act) now that would enable employees to organize a union without secret ballot.
Large corporations such as WalMart and Home Depot have donated large sums of money to defeat the EFCA. We encourage you to read some of the stories that provide the information necessary for you to make your own decisions when it comes to purchases.
Why would you give your hard earned money to an organization that uses its profits to defeat what we stand for in America? Yes it might cost a few more dollars each week to shop at another retailer but look where you money is going. WalMart is the number one retailer in America today and almost everything they sell comes from China. They should change the name to China-Mart. They overwork their employees and don’t provide them the opportunity to work enough fulltime hours to qualify for benefits. If an employee at Wal-Mart mentions the word Union they are terminated. You can read more about this at WakeUpWalMart.com. WalMart is mobilizing against the EFCA and you can read more about it at AmericanRightsatWork.com. See what Garth Brooks has to say about WalMart now...
Home Depot Chairman and Chief Executive Frank Blake recently gave an interview in which he stated his company’s opposition to the EFCA which would make union organizing easier, saying “We don’t think it’s at good thing for the country, never mind for “The Home Depot”.
