Is Walmart doing the American people a favor?

if walmart all that bad then why would anyone work there? anyways it's11,200 Sam's Club employees, i know they are part of walmart. there also closing 10 stores and downsizing on some part time workers and here and there,. times are hard, nobody wants to downsize.

hows unions going to help anyone? they only make things worse. and would force the closing of all the stores.

Of course it's not a positive. Being suddenly unemployed is not a good thing for anyone and having thousands more people unemployed is not good for our country's economy. Also, this from the same store that was recently caught destroying and throwing out unsold clothing with the trash instead of donating to charities right down the street..

I don't think unionization would help. They are outsourcing their IT department to India and closing 10 Sam's Club's and warehouses as well as a lab. The American people aren't getting any favors.

Of course it is NOT positive if your laid off, then you have NO job, which means no money for bills. BUT, thats what you have to worry about working for some place like that

Oh, well, at least they have low prices for stuff

The only thing a union will do for Walmart is to bankrupt it.

You think unionizing will solve their problems?

And losing your job when unemployment is over 10% is "a positive thing?"

Good luck with all of that, Mr. Einstein.

I worked at Wal-Mart one summer during college and yes, if you get fired from there, consider yourself the beneficiary of one of the biggest favors of your life.

Wal-Mart is laying people off to maximize profits to satisfy Wall Street.

A few those who are still working...

you know that the economy is in the crapper when walmart is laying people off. Thanks democrats.
