From The New York Sun: Defending a Vilified Wal-Mart
For example, the group known as Wal-Mart Watch is backed by the Service Employees International Union, and its board is headed by Andrew Stern, the union head. Wake Up Wal-Mart is headed by Paul Blank, who last managed the Howard Dean campaign; his group is funded by the Food & Commercial Workers Union. And so it goes.
Not only are the unions understandably frustrated that they have been so ineffective in breaking Wal-Mart’s ranks, they must also be tormented by the company’s success. As the United States’ economy tilts in favor of service enterprises from manufacturing, the ability of the unions to attract members has diminished. Logistically, if for no other reason, it must be harder to round up workers spread out all over the map in thousands of stores than those lumped all together in a factory.
It is obvious the democrats and the unions just don’t get it, as much as it is obvious the democrats are shilling for their union masters.
