Back To Basics By Jonathan Tasini, TOMPAINE
Why should working for Wal-Mart be inherently a bad job? There's no reason people should make such poor wages and have no real benefits—except that Wal-Mart's corporate policy is virulently anti-union, it relishes high turnover as a tactic to keep workers from exercising their democratic rights on the job and it employs more than 70 people full-time to break union organizing efforts. Remember, this is a company that faces the largest sex discrimination case in history with perhaps 700,000 plaintiffs who could be owed billions of dollars—fair pay that they were denied that would have helped them lead a life closer to the middle-class Dobbs yearns to preserve. The worst enemy of the middle class is the Wal-Mart economic model here at home, not the outsourcing of jobs, as painful and abhorrent as the practice may be.------------------------------------------- posted 7:11 AM :: reference link ::
