I don't deny Walmart's troubles - my point is that their troubles are not unique. You say that you have worked in situations that are as bad or worse than those at Walmart. I had no clue of your circumstance but I threw out a challenge and your response supports my view. You made a choice to work in the conditions where you took employment. You weighed the pros and cons and made a decision. Why don't you think Walmart employees capable of doing the same?

3. There are places like NYC where Walmart is currently not welcome for many different reasons. The local community boards here are quite strong and can stop things like state liquor licenses to zoning code variances. People think that Walmart is far from New York City, but there is one in Secaucus, NJ just 3 miles from Midtown Manhattan.

Thnaks for direct responses to those questions. As I read your response I don't see anything that makes Walmart different from any other major national corporation. So the next question is:
Why do people pick on Walmart?
I will give a clue - U-N-I-O-N-S. It appears to me that some people have chosen Walmart as a target (pardon the pun), or chose not to target Target becuase we all know Target isn't a real good target for targeting labor issues.
Don't we?
