Those companies make millions of dollars a year. Im sure they could afford to pay their workers 20 dollars an hour if they wanted to.

The problem is major major, let me say again MAJOR, propaganda against a union. I used to work for IBM as an engineer (not even affected by a union btw being salaried) and man even if someone was accused of using the 'U' word, they were somehow mysteriously fired.
If anyone even mentions a union the propaganda KINGS come out in full force.
I wish there would be a massive union spread throughout this country. It would save the good parts of this declining capitalist society.

Because Walmart, a multi-Billion dollar corporation that sucks money from cities, causing a dollar drought, doesn't want a union,
And Repubs hate them as well! They might have to start to PAY people A LIVING WAGE!
Heaven forbid. Then they couldn't B___ about the poor!

First, any group is free to try to unionize. There have been some attempts which have failed. By the way, how much would you pay for a Big Mac, if the unions took over?

I think the employees are the ones who have to unionize, not the government or laws or anything like that. I think unions have tried, at least at WalMart more than once. The employees just aren't interested.

If they had union representation the workers would have to receive a living wage, and fair benefits. This situation would cause the corporation's profits to be reduced.

I'm guessing that it's because the pay rate would go up and we could not keep getting good deals. I'm not saying it's fair however, unions take advantage as far as pay goes.

Not everyone likes unions, not everyone likes what unions stand for. Both consumers and companies alike have many reasons to dislike the unions.
I for one, hope that more organizations de-unionize.
