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.

Good then close them down.
Exactly and they welcome muslims
Obama gave $15 hr jobs.
I don’t think WM employees could be much lazier. If merchandise gets more expensive, they will close more stores.
B******t !!!! These stores are closing in part because they are in areas where there will be rioting soon. Others are in unproductive store areas.
They are probably just too busy with FEMA duties anyway.
so now does that 10.00 /hr job not look so bad ,you had two choices 10.00/hr or the 15.00/hr you wanted , now you have NEITHER. join the ranks of the lowest democrats and vote to keep them in power just to kjeep your unemployment!!!!????(not saying wal-mart is right) just saying minimum wage was never designed to live on with a family ,the hope was to earn some skills and progress to a higher level then “stocker” the rest of your life
And this is what Trump said high wages no jobs
These idiots ( liberals /communists /socialists /idiots) don’t understand basic economics which translates to common sense.
