Unions are always attacking Wal-Mart and its subsidiaries,so why do a lot of people from the union continue to shop at Wal-Mart and others owned by them. Read my blogs.

It is the very same vicious cycle that enrages the unions that forces them to shop there.
To clarify; Wal-Mart practices require those using shelf space to cut their prices each year. This forces the suppliers to move to non-US locations to reduce cost. Which then reduces US jobs and decreases the household income of the working class.
The working class have less money and have to shop where they can get the best prices. Which, most times is Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart takes in more money, grows in strength and directs those who fill their shelves to reduce prices further...and the cycle begins all over again!

It is a vicious cycle all right. Wal-Mart is a public company and the investors (the general public) demand higher earnings. In order to do so, Wal-Mart needs strong sales and consumers (the general public again, union members or not) on the other hand want low prices. But then, the US workers in the manufacturing industry want higher wages. To meet these conflicting demands, the company buys from the cheaper overseas sources. The truth of this mess...American jobs were not exported. We simple lost them because we lost our ability to compete in the world market of low cost manufacturing.

Suckless, if you're a lady attempting to pass previous the money sign in into administration. I artwork at Wal-Mart. Pay is respectable for me on account that i'm no longer knowledgeable previous extreme college. yet I were right here because the position opened 8 years in the past, not in any respect ignored an afternoon, continuously on time, not in any respect a challenge with the sign in receipts. I do smile and promises great customer service, i extremely love my activity, yet prefer to get ahead. The administration has given me a number of will advance, maximum of them when I requested one. They continuously award me with worker of the...., yet no promotion. i'm getting the tale, "yet you're so good at the front end..." they have provided me Head Cashier, I did that for fifty cents more effective in conserving with hour, and replaced into no longer nicely actually worth the flaws for the pay, so I stepped down. I practice most of the cahsiers or maybe the present Head Cashier. Then i stumbled on out the most of the MALE branch workers were provided a number of the branch administration postions that i replaced into omitted - they having even a lot less (actually one had an AA degree) - education and adventure there and in Retail as a rule than I do. In my city, i won't be able to be able to make the money I do now if i began a clean activity, so quitting isn't an decision, except I pass. So, they're, IMHO, suckless to artwork for.

TheChinaDoll has it right. People might not support Wal Mart's corporate policies, but unfortunately some of us don't have the luxury of shopping elsewhere, where things are much more expensive.
