Walmart in Pico Rivera California closed the store for 9 months for "plumbing problems" after the workers started to organize a union a few years back.
Rite aid always claiming theft in all their stores for loss but also part of the reason they claim for their bankruptcy.
Walmart shuts down immediately if a store tried to unionize.
If we ever got every store to try to unionize simultaneously Walmart would just shut themselves down and cash out. Hint hint if you wanna destroy a large Corpo.
the unfortunate reality is that many stores cannot even afford to unionize. the existence of Walmart had already destroy the local markets and no strings attached terms offered from the local government would crater the economy if Walmart just take the ball and go home.
Walmart preys on these towns and offers them deals they cannot refuse, because they can always open one up next town instead.
ever wondered why the techy bay area has only 1 Walmart while there are at least 5 across the bay? it's because the bay area is rich enough to not agree to Walmarts bullshit terms.
when the end result of unionization is plunging the entire town into economic hardship I wouldn't do it either.
The Great Unionization at Unison of the United States.
So you're saying that I should go to corporations with flyers and give them to employees so they'll unionize? I'm just asking questions!
Grab that car union guy and make a push.
A walmart in Tulsa, OK shut down for "plumbing problems" years ago before opening back up, amd I wonder if the same thing waa happening...
