"Evil Corporations"? Yeah, we would love to endenture your family.
Child Labour laws? We hate them.
Health Benefits? Canada has Publicly funded system. Don't need them.
Full-time benefits? No thanks, costs too much, we'll take 2 part-timers instead.

If you think that BIG BUSINESS would like to go back to the way things were in the 1900's, then you are just as brainwashed as the blue-vested managers leading the morning chant in the stock room. Only you have been caught by the union brainwashing machine, not the Walton meat grinder...

Promotion? I have seniority, you have to give it to me.
40 bucks a month in union dues? Sure, you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up.
That's not in my job description. I'm not doing that.
One day, when I grow up, I want to be a SHOP STEWARD!!!

I think that closing the Wal-Mart because it was not "profitable" is bullshit. How can you lose money on a WalMart store? Those things are liscences to print money. Union Busting, plain and simple.
What WalMart did not know, when they moved to Canada and bought Woolco was this: We are a liberal democracy. We like helping each other out. If we played by the same dog-eat-dog rules that made the U.S. what it is today, we would all have frozen to death back in the 1900's. We are union friendly, as a rule. Oops. Someone forgot to tell them that. They would not have come if they knew that. Simple.

FOR THE RECORD:
Yes, I am aware that I have argued both sides in this argument. I am proud of the fact that I can see the strengths and weaknesses of both sides of the argument.

Yes, I have worked in both Union and Non-Union jobs.
No, I have never owned my own business.
Yes, I am currently employed in a non-union environment.
