How come the Walmarts in Red China can form a Union but the ones in the US cant?

Because China is a totalitarian capitalist state.

go ahead form a union. Walmart will go by the way of every other company that unions have destroyed. It shouldn't take any time at all for the Union to run Walmart out of business. Go for it. You don't like their hiring practices don't work there. Personally I'd like to see them go under.

It is not so simple. (a voice from China)
For the Chinese government, WALMART's trade union is some icing on a bitter cake.
For the Walmart, the union in China is actually nothing, at least at moment.
For Chinese people, it is a fruit of some harding struggling, though half of loaf is not enough, but it is better than nothing.

Im not sure why it hasnt happened here, but just think if everyone just decided NOT to shop at or work at Wallmart. I know that times are tough and cheap stuff is nice, but there are other multimillion dollar corporations that are LESS EVIL. Remember, wallmart gets paid by the federal government to open stores, pays low wages and offers expensive health plans that workers cant afford, and then expects the government to make up the difference in the form of medicaid and welfare when its workers cant make ends meet. C'mon! we can do our best to put this piece of **** down the toilet where it belongs! Its high time for a boycott!

I don't have a good answer--When I worked there (Michigan) the office joke was: The right answer is "we aren't anti-union--we're Pro People. EVERYBODY laughed like crazy
