If you cant beat them, join them, but atleast be happy... To many people not happy because they cant get enough and need more -greed.
People at Walmart happy they have a job, and others begging there company for more, next thing you know, job is gone out of business.

Well I see you think that every American worker that is non union are dont like them for there on reasons are a Bunch of Dummies.Maybe you should walk into a truck stop and yell that out real loud.But call 911 first.You might get a bad reaction even from some Union drivers.

I am happy, I make a decent living. It sickens me to watch guys who have to cheat a logbook just to make enough to survive.

I am curious, knighton5, have you ever worked a Union job? I don't feel like digging through all of your 400-some posts to find out...

You must shop at a different Wal-Mart than me then because here they get Employee discouts and they save money.I have asked.Its kind of funny all unions hate Wal-Mart because they can not get in.I know unions have great pay and bennies.But If the Pensions are so safe why is Hoffa wanting the Gov.to step in and protect it.I think that if you protect one then protect all.Any way if the Gov.gets involved Pension plans look out.

Actually Highballin - walmart workers at a Canadian location voted to join the teamsters -

and wal mart shut the store down - and sold the property to a land developer.

(2005-2006)

store was open less than a year...

kinda funny to think they would do ANYTHING including close a brand new store to keep employees from making more than minimum wage.
