With the Healthcare bill behind us. Should our next fight be with the illegal ailens or change the hemridge of our jobs and money going overseas. Buying cheap, rotten, lead poisoned food and toys at Walmart and all of the other places. You can't hardly find anything made in the USA.
Cheating on the value of their money "VAT" tax on our products and paying slave wages to their people. With the predatory super-rich capitalist corporations moving the companies off shore and charging the American the same price for goods, as if it was made in the USA.
I would like to see the person and persons who said. "WE DON'T NEED MANUFACTURING FACTORIES IN THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED HIGH TECH JOBS THAT REQUIRE HIGHLY EDUCATED PEOPLE. What I would like to ask these educated assholes. Hey, buddy we're loosing high tech jobs, what are we going to do now. Cricket, Cricket, Cricket. We couldn't even fight a war. We don't have the manufacturing. Duh, Duh. When are the working people stand up to the Republican predatory rich capitalist. What are we going to do about it?

I'll see if I can find it again. I ran across it yesterday or day before while looking for something else and my only reaction then was, "oh great that's all we need".
The jobs the illegal aliens are taking are nothing compared to China, Japan, India and many more countries. I get so sick of you racist assholes. I know that if we start getting some of the jobs you damn Republican free traders have lost for us, we would be in hell of a lot better than we are now.
I know that you driving your foreign car, using foregin oil, to Walmart buying Chinese goods, using slave labor to you advantage, it would probably ruin you precious day, "ME".

I have a Chrysler van, don't go to Wal-Mart unless forced, and I am not an employer of anyone slave labor or otherwise.
Well, that's GOOD. I have F250 super duty, crew cab, V10 Ford truck and Ford Escape 4 cyl.. One for power and pulling and one's for good gas mileage. I sure in hell don't shop at Walmart. Strange bed fellows. :wink:

I have a diesel powered Chevrolet 2500HD, and a Pontiac GT Coupe.
I shop where ever they take money and stock the things I need, because the people that work there are Americans and need jobs too.

Yeah, those poor people need a job, they also need a union. Walmart has an employee turn over of over 53%, each year. They really know how to get employees to quit and fire them. Just like a greased slide. It really sound like they care. But Walmart is a kind company, they teach their employees how to get free taxpayer paid healthcare.
I just love the way they move into an area, where they can suck all of the business out all of the surrounding towns, closing down small business, paying their employees minimum wages and no benefits except to their salary suckasses. Then sending all of the profits to Arkansas. My god what a great company. Best of all 90% of the shit they sell is made in Communist China.
Remember when we spent Billions and Billions of dollars, in the Cold War fighting against communism. We're still fighting it in poor little Cuba.
Let's us stop out sourcing jobs, so we can buy quality products from the USA.

No, they don't need a union. I know people who work for Wal Mart and they are treated just fine. You are, once again, listening to the BS. If you shop at Sams Club or Lowe's you are shopping at companies owned by Wal Mart. Did you know that?
"Me" I hate to say this to you, THAT YOU SAID IS A GOD DAMN LIE. FLAT OUT. You sure don't know what in hell you are talking about. "Oh, I have friends who thinks working for Walmart is great". Plus what would a scab know about an union. The only people who don't like unions are, people who has never had a union job or an owner or a member of management who is made to treat their employees with respect and can't shit on them. Are one of these people?
I have seen and heard of what the scabby Walmart does to their people. Seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Aren't you the person who said just a little while ago say that you didn't shop Walmart. That is the main reason I DON'T SHOP WALMART AND LOWES. Sweetheart you sure don't know what in hell you're talking about.
"ME" you're just talking BULLSHIT. Did I explain to you how I really feel and about you, Walmart and Lowe's? Honey.

Excuse me......I know plenty about unions like how they won't let the company fire people who blatantly break rules like not drinking on the job, not showing up for work except for 2 or 3 days a week and showing up late on those days, threatening people who don't want to join, making people who chose not to join pay the dues anyway...want more? I can give examples of people I know who have done or experienced these things. It is fact not BS so don't call me a liar and don't assume I know nothing about unions because I do. My ex was in one for over 30yrs and I have friends who worked at Guide and Delco so back off that BS buddy.

There are more, but I doubt you will even read the five I have presented. You wouldn't want to get confused by the (documented) facts.
The only suits I know for sure about are BS ones. Both the Wal Mart in Fl and the one here won't allow employees to work off the clock or even assist anyone, or at least the people I know who work at both told me that and I'm sure they would know. I'm sure the rules don't vary that much from store to store. They, like K-Mart used to be, lease some of the departments to other companies which are supervised a little different, but not much, different than the rest of the store. One of the people I know has worked under some different supervisors some of which expected way too much from their employee's and didn't last long and the other 5 I know have had similar experiences in the departments they work in. Two of them work in the pharmacy, one in Muncie and the other in Fl, and the others worked in the general store and have for several years.

Old "Me", not one fact, not one personal fact. Just what someone told You. Just like the medical help you gave me, just something someone told you and you get mad because I call you what you are. A lier. "Back up buddy." Give me a break :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Just like your ex-husband who had 30 years of being in the union. "When HE DIVORCE YOU", did you and your lawyer go after his benefits. I'll bet you did. I bet you used every benefit he had, every chance you had, I'll bet you did and you didn't have to spend a day on his job. Did you go after half of his pension. I'll bet you did.

Don't even go there dude just don't even go there. What I know is fact because I know the people who were involved. One drank his lunch, went back to work drunk, wrecked a fork lift and cut off 4 fingers and was fired for drinking on the job, which was against the rules, and the union made them hire him back and give him the wages he lost while he was off. The guy bragged about it and thought it was his right to drink and operate a fork lift if he chose to do so. What if he had killed someone? Oh, and the insurance had to pay his medical bills plus he drew workman's comp.

Oh just for the record I'm not disputing your word it's just that a lot of these claims were found to be baseless and were in fact brought about by union plants who picked it out of thin air to try to get a union in. Yes, Wal Mart has changed some of their policy's but the one lady I know who works there has worked for them since they opened. Meijer has also gone through the same thing it just didn't get as much publicity. Sears on the other hand got/gets no publicity and, especially since the K-Mart buyout and take over, have really started treating their employee's like crap. My daughter worked there at the time and my granddaughter's husband works there now.
Anecdotal evidence I have received for years, tells me Sears is very close to public enemy no. 1 for how they treat employees. However, I doubt Wal-mart would have forked over more than $240 million (just in the examples I posted) if the claims were baseless. The sad fact is that big business builds their profits on the hardships of their employees.
However, if you should hold a party to piss on the Troll's grave, I will bring the margaritas. Ad hominem attacks on a woman who posts with a true heart (that's you) deserves a commemoration of the sort.

I only know what I've been told by people I know who worked/work there and were not mistreated or had to work under the circumstances stated in the articles and they told me what the rules in their stores said about working off the clock, it isn't allowed, they can't even assist customers if they're on break.

You are really pushing your luck Trolly baby. You certainly don't know how to have a civil discussion without insulting, name calling, and belittling so you can just talk to yourself for a while and see how ya like that. I'm done.
Yer probably right Lolly. Not only is it short and probably worthless but I'll bet he's p whipped too. :yes: :biggrin:
More second hand information. More lies. "ME" are you just having one large brain fart. Your Republicans have almost destroyed the unions, and wages, for every one has dropped. Your Republican back Bankers, Wall Streeteers and the super-rich predatory capitalist and lobbyist. We have the worst economy since Herbert Hoover. :yes: :yes: :yes:
And you don't want the people to have a union, so they can fight as a group, instead of one small person, up against a super large corporation, Walmart. The only word I can think of is SCAB!!!!!!!
Are pissed off at unions, because you didn't get any of your ex-husband union benefits. It seem to me you have benefited more from unions and you still knock them. Well, you have your old Democrat Social Security and that old Democrat Medicare to keep you warm. Hummmmmmmmm.

Poor baby, you come in, all ALLIGATOR MOUTH, lie, bullshitting, with no facts, nothing that would stand up in court, nothing but hearsay and you want me to believe your lying mouth.
Get you facts together, don't try to bullshit me and make false accusations. And remember, I may be old, 72, but I have a good memory of what you say. You say one thing and 5 or 6 posts later you deny that you said it. Also remember I have an allergy with Bullshit. Cut the crap and I think we might get along better. As far as your not talking to me. FINE!!!!! I will sleep good tonight. For I do not lie and I do not cheat.
The Troll
The guy in question was my neighbor at the time it happened so it wasn't second hand story or something I read about or heard on the news it is fact and that's all I'm going to say on the subject.
"ME", every time you tell me that a person got by with what you say it was. Drinking, sleeping, leaving the plant early, some member of management let happen.
Have you ever been in a union/company disciplinary action? No. Well, I have. I had one forman who decided he didn't like me and he was going to fire me. Well, the dumbass lied, fired me. During the disciplinary action, the union and I proved he was lying. Guess what. I wasn't fired and about two years later, the bastard died of a heart attack. How sweet it is and that happened 31 years ago and I can remember it, just like it happened yesterday.
In a company/union disciplinary action it is just like a court. The union is just like a lawyer who's on retainer for your monthly dues. The company has to prove that you did was a fire-able offense and you prove that you didn't. The company has to prove that what their member of management said was true.
Not like the Big Box Stores like Walmart, Lowes, Sears and so on. Where a member of management, the dumbass, slave driving sonuvabitch can fire you, just because he or she did get any or they just didn't like you face that day. It is just like a court and the information you have been giving me wouldn't stand up because it's HEARSAY. NOTHING.
If you remember just one thing , the unions are what made the asshole companies pay and treat their employees with, the higher wages and the better working conditions. Your asshole Republicans with their freetrading outsourcing and the their laws have reduced the unions in this country. You can see it every, lower pay, worse working conditions and more mistreatment of their employees.
IF THE CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESS HAD TREATED AND PAYED THEIR EMPLOYEES RIGHT, THERE WOULD NO UNIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. SOMEBODY SAY, AMEN!!!!!
