It has been said that facts are hard things. In the case of union thugs and the moronic “fight for fifteen” campaign that demands a $15 minimum wage for new workers without skills or an established work ethic, what it means is far fewer jobs and businesses finding new ways to automate. One example is the Wal-Mart store in Los Angeles Chinatown, a depressed area that has few, if any, large grocery stores and limited jobs to offer the citizens of the area.
For many years, the main shopping venues in the Chinatown were high priced liquor stores that carried limited grocery items and convenience stores, also with a very limited range of products. Finally, in September of 2013, Wal-Mart opened a 33,000 sq foot grocery and drug store in the area, and the locals flocked to the store for lower prices and a much better selection of goods. Also drawn to the store were the union hacks who demanded their piece of the pie. The union’s also bused in a union funded “ecology” group who protested against Wal-Mart for destroying the downtown area. Of course the “ecology” group would evaporate once Wal-Mart was unionized, but over 100 Wal-Mart workers preferred a steady job and better prices and selection, so they refused to support the union pressure.
Unions and government force Wal-Mart out, page 2:
Forcing them into more government assistance! Forcing that burden onto middle and low income families. And also making them sheep in the system! The plan all along! But too many people are to stupid to see it happening! They just see $15. Wake up sheep!
And I start next week for 9.50 lol
Another mistake by Dumbama’s regime. Now there will be more on welfare and unemployment, more taxes coming up. Between his black welfare constituents and the muslims and now Warlmart workers he sure is building up his voting ranks.
Wal Mart is beneficial to poor and lower middle class ppl in that they are able to purchase things at a lower cost. And, sir, I work in a sweat shop-construction. I have to hustle every day and I sweat a lot when the temperature rises. I have NO problem with it
Told you so
