Michigan unions unite to fight Wal-Mart By Tenisha Mercer, The Detroit News
“Wal-Mart is so big that we talk and plan about it every day,” Joe Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, said during a visit to Detroit this week. “Organizing the auto industry was difficult, but you don’t give up. A Wal-Mart economy is about lower paychecks and no benefits, and America can’t succeed on that type of philosophy.”
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Mona Williams said the retailer is pro-employee rather than anti-union.
“We have nothing against the unions,” Williams said. “A lot of our customers are in unions. A lot of our associates are former union members. We just feel that a union would not add anything at all for our associates.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:22 AM :: reference link ::
