Wal-Mart is merely working to impose higher costs on the competition. A classic business strategy to look like a do-gooder with the intent of gaining market share.

This is similar to the Dolphin Safe Tuna campaign, when the large tuna companies destoryed all the small ones by using The State to impose costs to drive the little guy out of business to gain market share.

What other examples do you know of?

Ask yourself this question:  why would a union, any union, work together with one of the most oppressive employers in the country?  And publish an announcement in Rupert Murdoch’s whorehouse? 

I would not trust SEIU to cut my dog’s toenails.  If I had a dog. 

SEIU worked against single-payer healthcare in California, works with big-government and big-business, against the interests of working people, and against the interests of related unions.  The insiders make a whole bunch of money, but I cannot see one thing they have ever done to help working people, or to strengthen the union movement.  In fact, they have undermined solidarity by breaking unions apart, attacking the California nurses union and trying to shut down locals that oppose Andy Stern’s dictatorial rule.  He’s making a bundle.  But which side is he really on?

I would not even shop in Wal-Mart, never mind come out publicly in some alliance with them.

And why is SEIU supporting a proposal that would require companies to buy private health insurance instead of supporting single-payer, or a comparable public option?  Is the SEIU getting contributions from the health insurance industry to buy their support for this corporate give-away?

Is Wal-mart going into the health insurance industry in addition to everything else they do? 

Proceed with caution.  Something about this evil union stinks.
