Just come out and say its a union thing for you. I’d respect your opinion more than the lies about how they already buy that much.

Not surprised that you refuse to get behind a good idea. It doesnt fit your narative? Who else is looking to produce in America? Your slogan seems to be “anyone but Walmart”. And you cant be taken seriously when thats your undelying message

the only time walmart runs a small biz out of biz is when that small biz wasnt good to start out with. People will pay for quality. Its out there.

See Art that Talks at http://ray-tapajna.artistwebsites.com The Walmart store was built in a location where thousands of workers made a middle class living. When free trade came and Walmart became the major distributor of products made by impoverished workers, million of workers in the U.S. lost their jobs.

Free trade remains the major cause of our economic crisis and we need to restore our local economies. Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things has burn out. President Obama had to bail out the process when he took over. He bailed out the investment communities, big money interest, Wall Street, banks and the “too big to fail” corporations. He did this while ignoring the suffering of all who lost everything due to free trade.

The value of workers and labor has been degraded and deflated. Along with the trade deficit which has broken records since 1994, this represent trillions of dollars of value lost forever. Nothing will replace this. Just think what all this money could have accomplished not only in the U.S. but all around the world.

Walmart is playing the Made in USA card now. It is too late. Besides Made in the USA means having an economy that adds about 5 to 7 levels of added value from the raw product stage to the end user or retail level as it once was. See http://tapsearch.com/flatworld http://tapsearch.com/tradetraps

Although sites we backlink to below are considerably not associated to ours, we really feel they’re truly worth a go by, so possess a look.

I read your responses and I think you are right on point especially your response to the woman who represents the Wall Mart employees. I also liked your response blah blah blah, to the person who was quoting facts and figures about how Wal-Mart ruined american manufacturing Jobs. So many people complain about bad jobs and bad business but they have no real understanding of Capitalism and how it actually works. Employees are not entitled to jobs and employers are not obligated to provide them. The relationship between the two exists because it provides a mutual benefit for both parties. People have become spoiled and forgotten what it means to work an honest days labor. By the way do you have or know of any scholarship opportunities for working adults? I have a friend who is tired of her corporate gig and is looking for a change.

Just because a company wants to spend $250 billion on American made products doesn’t mean they are willing to actually pay what it is worth to have those products made here.

$250 billion is a lot of money. There are probably plenty of investors willing to take a shot at getting that money. The problem is, if all Walmart is asking for is a low price on the products it sells, there is zero pressure on the companies vying for Walmart’s patronage to provide adequate training and career advancement for the workforce that helps them meet that price point.

Your approach to getting American workers back to work is commendable in some respects, but my issue with you centers solely around your seeming lack of concern that the occupations you are touting actually provide a liveable wage. Your reasoning for people looking into apprenticeship centers around the good wages that skilled trade unions have made possible for over 100 years. If every kid graduating high school gets into apprenticeship, that could be a very good thing, unless when they finish their training they join an overcrowded workforce. The “invisible hand of the free market” quickly wraps around the throat of workers who suddenly can’t feed their family because someone else doesn’t have a family to feed and is willing to do the same job for $5 per hour cheaper.

There is no skills gap in union building trades. We are incredibly skilled and we put more money (by a factor of 10) into developing those skills than all non-union apprenticeship programs combined. Our completion rates are much higher and the skilled worker we turn out are far more successful than non-union graduates throughout their careers. We also only bring in the number of apprentices that the industry demands, while non-union apprenticeships tend to turn out class after class without considering the impact of flooding the market with desperate and hungry workers.

I know that you don’t think unions are necessary anymore. You are wrong. When the abuses of a juggernaut can be ignored by the modern day “landed gentry” (That isn’t you by the way, it is your boss. In the new feudalism, media conglomerates are the land barons and the talent is the share-cropper) simply because the juggernaut can offer a kings ransom for the support they demand, organizations that operate to protect the value of work are even more important than they were when there were no laws to “protect” us.

If you really want to help the American economy, advocate for the repeal of Taft-Hartley amendment to the Wagner Act. We don’t need your charity, we just need the unfettered right to advocate for ourselves.
