Unions Plan Big Drive for Better Pay at Nonunion Wal-Mart By STEVEN GREENHOUSE, New York Times
'This isn't a campaign, this is a movement,' said Greg Denier, spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. 'There's no precedent for this. It's a movement to confront the reality of Wal-Mart-ization. No other company has ever had the global economic impact that Wal-Mart has.'
Wal-Mart has 1.2 million workers in the United States, more than any other company, but no unionized workers. It has a history of fiercely resisting unionization efforts.------------------------------------------- posted 1:27 PM :: reference link ::
