The long march to the checkout line
Well, we can't really expect American workers to have the same rights as their counterparts in China, can we?To be fair, it sounds like unions in China don't quite play the same role they do in the US, but still it's a pretty sad commentary on the state of labor here since Wal-Mart would rather close up stores than run the risk of having North American employees demand fair wages and benefits.After years of fighting unionization efforts at its stores, Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, said today that it would work closely with Chinese officials to establish labor unions at all of its outlets here.

jambo I dont think you have any idea how bad the conditions are in china. watch this movie.
The point is not how good or bad things are in China, the point is how WalMart conducts its business here in the US.
