Aldermen say 'union, yes' and delay Wal-Mart stores By ABDON M. PALLASCH and STEVE PATTERSON
Wal-Mart isn't used to taking "no" for an answer.
Northwest and Southwest Side aldermen, including Zoning Committee Chairman William J.P. Banks, who tabled Wal-Mart's zoning, say Wal-Mart is a negative force on the U.S. economy, forcing other stores to lower wages to be competitive and forcing companies such as Chicago-based Radio Flyer to move their manufacturing operations overseas where it's cheaper.
'If Sam Walton were alive today he'd be doing somersaults in his grave,' said Ald. Dick Mell (33rd). 'He wanted to buy American.' Now Wal-Mart sells cheap imports instead of American, he said.

So like Levi's jeans, you can add the Radio Flyer to the list of all-American icons that aren't made in America.------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
