K-Mart's coming back from chapter 11 with a vengeance. I think the
public's
going to be pleasantly surprised.

I still don't like their checkout system, but I have noticed that some
WalMarts are going the same way.

The checkouts here seem normal. What's up with the ones you've seen?

We haven't bought anything at Wal-Mart in years. It is among the most
exploitative employers in the United States, a real rogue corporation,
that screws its workers and its suppliers at every opportunity.

Wal-Mart, if you will, treats its employees as if they were Iraqis.


If their employees are being treated as badly as you say, why is it that
no union has been able to organize them?

Don


Because Wal-Mart Inc. has a carved-in-stone anti-union stance. They will
(and have, multiple times) fired everybody on the payroll and shut down
the entire store rather than allow a union to get so much as a toenail
clipping (never mind a foot...) in the door.

Prove it.

Federal law mandates union certification elections, if
enough employees ask for one.




hahahahahahohohohohohhehehehehe

This government is about as anti-union as Wal-Mart.

Non sequitur. Wal-Mart must hold a union certification
election if enough employees ask for one. Their
anti-union stance doesn't enter into it.


The "law" has been
looking the other way for the last three years, for the most part.

Prove it, liar.



Prove it?

Yes. Prove it, liar.

Hehehe. There's a ka-zillion cases that have built up the last
few years that show how anti-labor the NLRB has become, at the urging
the Bush-shippers.

That's not proof; you've merely offered another
unsupported claim.

Prove it, liar.


If you are that interested, the cites are easy enough to find.

Find them, liar.


Ahh, I see. You came across a cross-posting sea. Well, head back to your
island of bigotry, rightie.

You're comparing tiny Switzerland to the United States? Now there's a
giggle for you. Besides, nearly half of the Swiss economy is based upon
manufacturing.

From the CIA World Factbook - Switzerland: services 69.1%, industry 26.3%,
agriculture 4.6% (1998)
Industries: machinery, chemicals, watches, textiles, precision instruments
Industrial production growth rate: 3.2% (2001)

Also home to Ciba Geigy and Nestle, two of the worst polluters on the
planet.

No, when they run out of money to float the fake, incredibly inflated
economy they run in Switzerland, they pry open another unclaimed vault
of gold yanked from Jews teeth.

You disgusting bigot.

Bigot? Based on what, the truth? Do you know what the word bigot means?

Why don't you just tell me how Switzerland really floats their economny,
smart boy?

Sure thing, bigot. Their economy is based (not
"floated", your needless and bogus pejorative) on the
provision of some sophisticated services, chiefly
financial ones, to the rest of the world.

Anything else you'd like to know, bigot? I only want
to help you; to lift the scales from your eyes.

Oh, so Wilbur and I agree. We're both bigots for telling the truth.

The Swiss have yet to answer for their crimes.

What happened, couldn't afford to live there?

I was an exchange student.

That's a cheap way to live in a country where the poverty rate is about
$50K/yr.

Just how is it Switzerland lives so highly on such a small economy?

Isn't that something they taught you about when you were living there?

The Jewish Holocaust may have been perpetrated by Germans, but many
countries profited be being conduits (and complicit) for arms, money,
looted treasures and other valuables. Switzerlans is just such a
country.

Most people think of Switzerland's neutrality as non-military which is
far from the truth. They are very well armed on all borders. The
closer truth is they collect tolls from whomever and whatever is passing
through.

Why not do a little research, then you can post something of value.

Yeouch! I was thinking that, but you had the cojones to say it, as it

He has none. He's utterly gutless. So are you.
You're a punk.

You have no valid argument so you post personal insults. Not very
compelling or convincing.

Switzerland is a toll booth and they've collected plenty on the looting
and theft by creeps and thugs from the world over.

Get an education and then try to post something worth our time.

Finding one with a person to check you out. Each one of the self-checkouts
means 3-6 less workers. And self-service is about all they have in K-Marts.

High productivity.
