Chasing China: How Alaska's Don Young and Wal Mart are Sinking the American Dream - By Terry Haines, AlaskaReport, AK
Wal-Mart doesn't do unions. Even fake ones.
The irony for China is that their attempt to change communism into a 'socialist market economy' in order to bring more money to the masses is failing. Instead they have frozen their workers in carbonite and delivered them to Wal-Mart the Hut. And here's the ultimate irony. Managers of China's Wal-Mart stores, worried about the high cost of Chinese labor, are starting to outsource in countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam, where workers are more desperate, and labor is even cheaper.------------------------------------------- posted 8:10 AM :: reference link ::
