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.

Thanks barak hussein obama
No it is not the 15 dollar an hour it’s the economy is why they are closing. Blame the goverment and bankers for that.
Walmart $15.00 P.hr. MINIMUM are CLOSING STORE all AROUND NATION
what a crock, the big fat cat owners may have to cut their own pay a little so they can’t stand that so they blame the pay raise.
Paul Johnson Joe Tullar oooops
And they were actually so stupid they did not realize they would be out of a job??
now no jobs lol
they are closing smaller stores to open bigger ones……
this is pure bull. they are not closing over $15.oo an hour. they are ticked off on the ceo level because there is now a small reduction in their huge profits. profits that they have made for some human being somewhere in the world. they didnt get rich without the help of some human spending money that went to them. so they should just buzz off or just close down all of them. if that happens, see what really happens to these same whiney ceo’s
