As soon as I read "It seemed like an odd complaint, given that Wal-Mart has been vehemently anti-labor since, well, forever." I knew this article was a political diatribe against WalMart and not a factual analysis.

People must wonder why the left hates WalMart with such vehemence?

Is it because WalMart offers jobs to the handicapped who would otherwise be dependant on government handouts? Because they could feel good about themselves and take pride in being a taxpaying member of their community?

Is it because WalMart offers promotion preference from within it's own ranks, to its own employees who work hard and learn how to do the job the WalMart way? Ohmygod - a manager without a degree - what will happen to all of the elitist college professors in their do nothing jobs if other businesses start following the WalMart model?

Is it because WalMart could show the government how to operate more efficiently, thus saving the hard working taxpayers a lot of $?

Is it because a lot of advocates would continue to lose "clients" to good jobs at WalMart - that the social services agencies might have to cut their budgets as more and more people find happiness in a job they take pride in doing? Think of all of those social service professionals having to get jobs in the dreaded private sector.

Is it because unions fear a corporation that offers more to employees than the unions could get at the bargaining table? Consider union hacks having to get real jobs and actually doing some work.

What about the rest of us who don't mind going to WalMart and standing in those godawful long lines so we can save twenty or thirty bucks or more every time we shop.

Then again, that hate that some of the left feels for WalMart could be fear at the prospect of having to get a real job.

Well, I'm guessing some of their employees might want a union, so I'm not sure how making that point will play out for them.

Not really any different than a union or a church telling members who to vote for.

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't form or be part of a union, but they certainly ought to have a right to be part of a union, and if the company is putting its weight behind trying to thwart that, then that's pretty shady.
