Los Angeles Times -Friday 1 May 2009- Business Section B5. QUOTE " Labor-Wal-Mart staffers support union bill. Workers at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. went to the Capitol in Washington to urge passage of legislation that would make it easier for them to form a union. The group of about 75 workers from 17 states backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers and the labor federation Change To Win,said they are paid too little,offered health care that costs too much and stymied in efforts to unionize. Wal-Mart opposes the legislation known as the Employee Free Choice Act,which would let workers bypass an election and form a union if a majority sign cards requesting one."

The employees might be for EFCA, but the corp. would rather fire all the workers than to have a union. One of the Senators who's state is headquarters of Wal-Mart voted NO on the EFCA.

As an old saying goes...UNITED WE STAND ..DIVIDED WE FALL..the question is how many are us willing to be united to stand strong against the winds of history to repeat what are fathers did before us..
