Anyone following the Walmart Unionization in Canada?

Tweety is right.

We really should discuss the HISTORY of unions....

That's not very nice.  It's not true that all the pro-union commies have high school diplomas only.  I happen to know that some of them had a little college, or at least spent some time on a college campus handing out flowers or selling dope.

Yeah, let's discuss the history of unions.

Class, let's start with this question:

Which came first:

1) Unions

2) Abusive Management


(I figured we better start with an easy one. You have five minutes and then I will collect the papers.)

Oh Oh I know, I know!

Not fair Toad, he cheated!

1. Unions
2. Jobs

The history goes like this:

Abusive bosses

Abusive trade guilds

Abusive corporations

Abusive Unions


They all suck, pick yer poison, or work for yourself.

Toad is an airline pilot, he loves unions!

[Lizking]

The only people that like unions are the people that profit from them.  Why is that, do you think?

[NUKE]

Unions have no place in modern America.

[Lizking]

Sure they do, why wouldn't they?

BBS Search this phrase in the O'Club and see who says it everytime Unions come up.

Then come back and tell me who it was that posted it.

"The only thing worse than a Union is.......... no Union."

That's your second test question.

WalMart is just shutting the store down rather than let the workers unionize.. I guess they let it get out of hand.  

I know when I worked at Sams Club they'd fire people for even mentioning union.  

Do you Canadians not have enough illegal immigrants up there or something?  Just wondering how they'd let a whole store try to unionize and then decide to close it down rather than just fire em all and start over.

There are several other WalMarts in Quebec and BC in the process of becoming unionized... it'll be interesting to see what comes of them. And no, there aren't too many illegal immigrants in Quebec.. they're all in Ontario or BC

Unions are anti capitalism.

Unions are the reason unskilled labor gets higher pay than they are worth.

Hey Nuke... ever wonder why the Founders put checks and balances into Government?

Ok... now extend that line of reasoning a bit.
