Countdown: Wal-Mart, The Republican Brand

its true.. i had to go to the meeting... i thought i was the only one who caught on to it until i saw the news..

"Who cares" that Olbermann does not invite guests on with whom he could debate. I was responding to the post immediately preceding my response.

You should - your taxes pay for the health care of millions of this corporate pig's employees who are forced to use ERs for medical care - I'd rather pay more for my goods knowing I was supporting the economy and better working conditions for an American worker.

So...Wal-Mart is willing to use intimidation tactics against Wal-Mart workers to stop a bill that they say will allow folks use intimidation tactics against Wal-Mart workers, because they are against intimidation tactics. But if you work for them, your job is on the line if you vote for Obama.

Anybody who believes that Wal-Mart has your best interest at heart would go hunting with Dick Cheney.

This has already happened before in American hIstory.

I am so happy that the public is hearing about Wal-Marts scare tactics. I have worked for Wal-Mart for 16 years. I had to attend the meeting(the anti union meeting) that Keith was talking about on his show. Wal-Mart is scaring their employees, and telling them not to vote for Obama. I asked some questions at the meeting I attended and it pissed off the HR manager that gave the meeting. I am now a "red flag", I am embarrassed to say I work for Wal-Mart. Its not the same as it was 10 yrs ago

F**k walmart and F**k republicans who support union busting. IF your a blue collar worker and this story doesn't make you upset then your brain is not working, or should I say your brain is working just like the republicans want it to. Not working at all!!

Oh ok I get it now, thanks a lot. Thank you for explaining it to me

I just answered that question. That's what they are leading you to think. Management wants you to defend the election process, so it can continue to F**k with workers through the process. If unions can sign people up as if they're joining a club (the way unions originally unionized workplaces), management can't campaign against the union before the election, and they would have to revert to criminal acts to get people to surrender their union cards (the way it used to - before elections).

the thing I don't get why is it so bad for people to unionize via secret ballot? I don't get it, I would have thought it was a good thing.
