Unions are good for low wage earners like reatail employees. Having worked retail for 10 years as a part timer and manager in non union shops and as a manager and area manager in union shops, I must say the union shops provided people with raises, good benefits and some protection from abuses. The non-union shop stunk!!! People were fired at the drop of a hat and no matter how well a part timer performed they were not getting a raise. Period.

Now unions in other industries are another matter....but when Wal-Mart comes to a small town and shuts the ma and pa small business's down and only hires part time with out much in the way of decent benifits...unions are good.

I'm a card carrying Republican....but with my expieriences in Retail and what we all know about  Wal-Mart tells me that their employees need to organize!!! God Bless them and good luck !!!
