Wal-Crap's been closing its stores after employees vote for a union.

BTW, Herring, as a sub teacher, aren't you drawing the benefits
negotiated by a labor union?

Are you paying your dues, or are you the typical Republican freeloader?


Just last month in Quebec, Wal-Mart said it was closing a store after the
workers unionized. What a piece of **** company. They should be run out of
the country on a rail.

Why should the company be forced to accept union labor? They have every
right to close up shop and move if it is being forced on them.

Your time line is a little off. The past 15 years has seen manufacturing
companies, even the once mighty textile industry, fleeing the American
South. Go about 110 years further back!

Aren't you pro choice Don? The workers made a choice to unionize and the
company made a choice to shutdown. Everybody got to make a choice.

What a piece of **** union!

Tell Harry to do some rope climbing. Seems like you're the only one who answers
him.

The few teachers who actually join a union do so primarily for the legal
representation supposedly offered by the union. I opted for an umbrella policy
with a 'corporal punishment' rider that cost about $25 per year. Once I spread
the word around, several of the few who were in the union quit and did the same
thing.

Thank's for agreeing...they should be moved right back to the US.

Oh, none?

Survival?


They may be charged with bargaining in bad faith. Quecec labour laws are a
little more advanced than your 'right to be a slave' states.

Figures you'd be a free-rider, though. Too bad you aren't paid at a rate
you have to negotiate on your own.


What do they pay 'day care workers' these days?

Actually, in this state anyway, subs aren't part of the collective
bargaining agreement because they aren't subject to the same
educational requirements beyond having a basic degree qualification.

I don't think they are in any other state either, but I'm not sure of
that.

Are you paying your dues, or are you the typical Republican freeloader?

Subs in this state don't pay union dues.

Later,
