16. The irony of Walmart attacking the Democrats glaring ...........


The Democrats pandering to their labor
union base?

Only 14% of US workers are unionized. That's
a pretty small base.

The only union contract that Walmart has
agreed to is with it's workers in Communist China !!!!
Nobody would ever seriously maintain that
a Communist government run union safeguards
the interest of its workers.

Walmart's sole reason for existence is to pull
as much money out of the pockets of its employees
and customers as possible regardless of the damage
being done to the economic future of American workers
through wage suppression and predatory pricing that
is killing manufacturing jobs.

Walmart pressured Rubbermaid to increase their manufacturing
capacity before they would consider Rubbermaid for preferred
supplier status. They subsequently insisted on price reductions
from Rubbermaid during a serious spike in the price of polymer.
Rubbermaid appealed to Walmart for a price increase until
their raw material costs stabilized.

Walmart refused

Rubbermaid went bankrupt and had to sell brand new
injection mold machinery at a loss to a Chinese factory.
