Unions still trying to take down the giant and change public opinion

A lot of area Democrats at this demonstration yesterday in front of Wal-Mart in Boynton Beach. Is Wal-Mart really the ogre that they say it is?

Walmart says that it got its start in Arkansas in 1962. Since then, the company has expanded across borders and overseas but the U.S. remains the heart of their business. Today, Walmart employs more than 1.4 million U.S. associates at more than 4,700 stores and clubs nationwide. Every year, they promote about 160,000 people globally to jobs with more responsibility and higher pay. In the U.S., the average, full-time hourly wage is $12.83.

The demonstration was backed by the unions who has fed the line of inferior pay, bad working conditions and corporate greed down the throats of all these protesters who don't want to see workers taken advantage of by some retail giant. Corporations are not supposed to make money in America, or at least not this much, according to them.

 If Wal-Mart employs over 2 million workers world-wide and conditions are so bad, why do they stay? This demonstration is nothing more than heavy handed unions that have used their influential brow-beating message  convincing the liberals that one of the most successful corporations in America is the devil. It is all about Wal-Mart's anti-union policies.
