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.

No$#%&!@* You can’t have $15.00 was earners and charge “loe” prices.
Don’t worry Obama has plans for those empty buildings.Imagine how many people one of those buildings could house.Hummmmmmm
Stupid democrats
they are closing the stores due to the fact they are not making any money in the area they are located….. I am not a favorite of WalMart but you just do not keep a business open if its loosing money… not smart at all.. they also are offering jobs at other stores…
Wal-Mart sucks anyways. It out small companies out, now minimum wage is to them what they are to small companies. Everything sold there is from sweat shops that took jobs away from Americans by going overseas thanks to free tarde. Everyone gets screwed in the end when playing dirty.
Not true !
The ones there closing that I seen are ones that aren’t making money !
They talked to one town and they said they drove 20 miles to the big store !
They had a brand new store so watch what you believe ! I seen the small , pharmacy stores not doing good !
There putting where mom and pop shops are , and not getting supported the way I see it !
Good work Obama! He’s the one who brought up the $15 an hour for uneducated workers!
