‘Bad boy’ Wal-Mart comes to St. Paul By Barb Kucera, Workday Minnesota
Wal-Mart, arguably the world’s most anti-union corporation, is coming to St. Paul, a pro-union town, and labor, religious and community activists are not putting out the welcome mat.

“It’s a sad day for St. Paul,” Carpenters union representative Harry Melander told the crowd.
