Popeye used to say "That's all I can stands cuz I can't stands no more!" That's my feeling about the UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) Union and their all out war against Walmart. Their concern is allegedly that Walmart sells a lot of goods from Communist China which costs the US people jobs. Well, who isn't for saving American Jobs. Everybody is for it. Right?
I personally don't have a Dog in this fight. I don't work for walmart. I used to work for Sams club a long time ago but haven't been there for 5 years or so.
I did some checking at Walmart and their competition in our local area. That would be Target and Meijer's. Guess what they both sell a LOT of items made in China as well. How come they aren't being targeted by the UFCW? Any guesses? Yup, you got it. Meijer is a union store. I'm not sure about Target but my guess is they are as well.
So is the UFCW angry about the Chinese goods sold at Walmart? If so why not add Meijer and Target to their advertisements? Maybe it's because they really don't care how many Chinese goods are sold it's which stores are union stores. That is, in my opinion, the bottom line. Based upon my observations of stores where they represent the workers there are just as many Chinese goods being sold.
UFCW, if your going to be intellectually honest and display even a small amount of integrity you might want to also speak out against those stores where you represent the workers who are selling the very same Chinese goods Walmart is selling.
OH if you want to see where the union workers money goes when the UFCW makes it's political donations check out http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000072
