Who’s paying for the Wal-Mart Airlift?
posted at 10:00 am on April 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
At 10 am ET, 100 Wal-Mart workers from around the country will demonstrate in Washington DC to demonstrate for Card Check. They will complain about working conditions and wages, which should prompt reporters covering the protest to ask a basic question:
Washington, DC – Nearly 100 Walmart workers from 17 states will come to Washington, DC this week for a national organizing committee meeting, and to brief Congressional staff on working conditions at America’s number one private employer and why they need a union voice in the workplace.
Workers from Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, will be available to speak to reporters following the briefing with Congressional staff:
WHAT: Briefing for Congressional Staff and Press by Walmart Workers
WHEN: Thursday, April 30 at 10 AM
WHERE: Agriculture Committee Room, #328 Russell Senate Office BuildingDespite Walmart’s long and well-documented history of anti-worker activities, associates say they are emboldened by the election of Barack Obama and the introduction of the Employee Free Choice Act in Congress. Ten of these workers shared their stories in a new video, released last week.
Walmart Workers for Change is a new campaign made up of thousands of Walmart workers joining together to form a union and negotiate better benefits, higher wages, and more opportunity for a better future.The campaign is a project of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), America’s neighborhood union. The UFCW represents 1.3 million workers nationwide, with nearly one million working in the supermarket industry. Many of UFCW members also work at national retail stores such as Bloomingdales, Macys, H&M, Modell’s Sporting Goods, Saks Fifth Avenue, RiteAid, CVS, and Syms.
So these overworked and undercompensated employees from 17 states have enough time and money to take a couple of days off to travel to DC for a demonstration? Is this a spontaneous decision? I’d say … no. Reporters should be asking whether these demonstrators are getting compensation from the UFCW for their travel expenses, meals, time off, and anything else.
After all, some people wouldn’t mind a job at Wal-Mart or anywhere else in this economy. And if they’re getting on round-trip flights to plead poverty in our nation’s capital in an effort to strip workers of the secret ballot, we’d like to know who’s footing the bill.

100 disgruntled employees. Tens of thousands of happy employees (including my wife).
Let the 100 go elsewhere to find jobs.

They can organize a union now, just under a secret ballot.
jukin on April 30, 2009 at 10:05 AM
It’s so awful at Walmart that they feel compelled to keep working there.
When I was younger and working for the Man, if I didn’t like a job then I just quit; the logic was pretty easy to figure out.
Now that I am the Man, I can whip and starve my employees as I see fit and if they don’t like it, they too can quit.

Workers from Wal Mart fly to DC to protest low wages in America = they are liars about meager compensation and should be completed ignored. Screw these guys.
Teabag partiers fly to DC to protest the crushing burden of too high taxes = sympathetic Americans struggling to get by and only succeeding through determination and iron resolve. Let’s do exactly what they want.

The war on prosperity continues. Wal-Mart is one of the only companies with increasing sales right now… can’t have that! We need to drive up their costs. If people can have affordable products they will need less from government, plus think of all the contributions to politicians that the UFCW could make with all the Wal-Mart workers’ dues money.

That money we spent to ‘bail out’ Chrysler and GM? That’s the money they are using here from the UAW.
You know all those people who dismissed the tea parties as ‘small’? Those are the same ones declaring this event significant and earth shattering.
If the government succeeds in taking down Wal-Mart, capitalism will have lost completely. Why would they want to ruin the one company that has helped low and middle class families more than any government anywhere in the world?
It’s as though this government won’t be happy until all Americans fail so that they depend on the government. This government punishes success and rewards failure.
ThackerAgency on April 30, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Walmart should fire any of these people who demonstrate because clearly they are union activists seeking to destroy the company.

What I’d like to know is how a company like (and as huge as) WalMart remained union-free this long…

riverrat10k on April 30, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Wal-mart is even ‘going green’ with the money they make. . . they supply jobs and growth in areas that need it. If Wal-Mart unionizes, they’ll go the way of GM and the UAW. Unions do NOT fit in the Wal-mart model. If they unionize, there will be fewer jobs, not more.
ThackerAgency on April 30, 2009 at 10:13 AM
I like the phrase ” workers…will be available to speak to reporters following the briefing with Congressional staff” this is not a spontaneous grassroots effort by the downtrodden, exploited masses of Walmart. Our “neighborhood union” stands to gain a huge boost in membership if card check passes.

No one is stopping them from forming a union, in fact the 100 can form their own union and start there.
With the money spent for these 3 days, that would be great seed money to start their own union….after all, for the time being, this is a free country.

Walmart is an example of capitalism. They grow and target struggles. I suspect most do not know that walmart equals 1/6 of china’s GDP. So far obama has left Walmart alone. If he took them over, he could run them into the ground in 12 months.

I am so tired of hearing of the ‘evil’ Wal-Mart. Worked for them for 15 years and have never worked anywhere better to me and my family. Regular, substantial raises and promotions, had to take a leave for 13 months while husband was dealing with cancer and in all that time not one week went by that a member of management did not phone to see how I was and if I needed any help. My experience is they do not ‘beat’ the associates, most are in fact very well treated indeed. And a union will surely ruin the company as is! Stand firm WM!
dustoffmom on April 30, 2009 at 10:26 AM
When my husband was competing in flying contests, we found ourselves in small towns all over the country. Mostly in Texas and NM. The only store that was available was Wal-Mart. Everyone in the contest always needed something for the car, trailer, or comfort for the crew. Everyone at Wal-Mart was super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to solve problems especially with tires and trailers. Their selection was always good and the prices were always quite reasonable. Their biggest assest was the very nice folks that worked for them. A union will kill that. No one forces you to work for Wal-Mart. Out here in the East I have not noticed the same friendliness or helpfulness that the early Wal-Marts had in the days when they were getting started. I always attributed that to the region of the country and the distance to large cities. I hope their success hasn’t doomed them to unions.

If you don’t like working for Wal-Mart go back to school, get more education and look for a better job. Or, and this is going to be a radical suggestion for these days, start your own business. Oh, that’s right, spend years working you butt off, with long hours and little pay, and once you are successful Dear Leader will swoop in and steal the sweat of your brow, all in the name of “fairness.”
Not once ounce of sympathy for these sock puppets.
rbj on April 30, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Do you know what the problem with Wal-Mart is?
They actually expect you to work…not hard, over bearing work, but “show up and work and we pay”, and the unions and others can’t stand that thought.
right2bright on April 30, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Organized labor is feeling it’s oats with The Messiah in charge. If i were Wal-Mart, and i was forced to negotiate with Unions… I’ll shutter every single store. Then where would all the low-income folks go to 1) get their groceries, generic Pampers and car air fresheners, and 2) find entry level employment that doesn’t require standing over a boiling fry vat?
GO GALT, I say.

Walmart Workers for Change might want to look out the window at that long queue of unemployed people wanting to replace them.

Bishop on April 30, 2009 at 10:31 AM
Sorry to confuse your sarcasm with facts, e-pirate, but:
This is only 100 rabble-rousers out of more than 1.4 million US employees.
There were over a quarter-million “teabag partiers” protesting things forced on everyone by an out-of-control government.
The 100 Wal-Mart complainers may be “protesting low wages”, but the average pay for US Wal-Mart store employees is nearly $11/hour (and much higher in many large cities), plus performance bonuses. I imagine lots of unemployed folks would love to make that much doing what Wal-Mart store employees do.
Unlike the employees of many of its retail competitors, even part-time Wal-Mart employees can become eligible for health benefits.
KS Rex on April 30, 2009 at 10:32 AM
If I were Wal-Mart I would be taking names, and letting these workers know that since they don’t like working at Wal-Mart so much, they don’t have to anymore.
Unfortunately such a move is probably against the law.

Unfortunately, some of them are so committed to not shopping at Wal-Mart, that they do everything in their power to make sure that none are built, and even those that are open are forced to close.
Just look at the nonsense that goes on every time Wal-Mart tries to open a new store.
MarkTheGreat on April 30, 2009 at 10:37 AM
Add my wife to that list of happy employees.
Card Check is what these 100 “bullies” want. So they can intimidate others. Take away the secret ballot and say good-bye to Wal-Mart as we know it.

To withdraw from the two biggest unions in the country…the teamsters

Because the union has nothing to offer other than less pay and dues paid to the union. Take home monies decrease substantially.

The UNIONS can afford to send 100 WM employees to Washinton DC, but they can’t tell their organizers to GET OFF THEIR ASSES and get to work to organize WAL-Mart employees?
WORK to get them on your side UNIONS. IF you had anything worth offering, THEY’D BE IN THE UNION already.
Why join a union that REALLY hasn’t shown the desire to GET you?
originalpechanga on April 30, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Actually, you’re the one that said the 100 should be ignored. :-)
I don’t think they should be ignored, but I do think the card-check issue should be exposed for the blatant Union power play that it is. Unfortunately, the MSM will not do that. Instead, they’ll run a 10-minute human interest story on how Wal-Mart made one of the protesters work overtime when she had a headache.
As many have already asked, why is the lack of card-check preventing these complainers from forming a union? Answer: It’s not. The common knowledge that unions are primarily there to help unions and not workers is what’s preventing it.
Thanks you, MM and HA for helping to keep the facts in front of people.
KS Rex on April 30, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Because it is illegal to fire employees that form a union, WalMart closes stores that vote to unionize. At least, that’s what I remember hearing about one WalMart in Canada.
Count to 10 on April 30, 2009 at 10:59 AM
While I disagree with the position these folks are taking (as pointed out above, they CAN form a union now if they can persuade without thuggery their fellow workers) and while I loathe the members of Congress who even consider something as detestable as the proposed card check law, think about the implications of the two questions I quoted. One implication is that if you are downtrodden, you should not even be able to make a presentation to the government. Another implication is that if you are helped in making the presentation, your presentation is not to be trusted. So, while I may believe these folks a merely shills for a potentially corrupt union, and while I strongly disagree with their desire for the proposed card check law, I think we should not denigrate their right to make a presentation to the government.

KS Rex on April 30, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Yes!
And by the way, for any redistributionists and poverty workers out there, Wal-Mart has done more to increase the standard of living for low and middle income people than any government program, including LBJ’s ‘war on poverty’, in history.
petefrt on April 30, 2009 at 11:32 AM
So let me understand this…the malcontents aren’t happy at WalMart because of what they believe is a “long history of anti-employee practices”? If that’s the case, then one could begin by asking why they still work there. Is it because WalMart is the only store of its kind that is still economically viable? Then, by all means, let’s pull it down into the ranks of the economically non-viable by unionizing it.
If these people have their way, they and all the other employees of America’s number one private employer will become members of a very different group. The unemployed.

I think we have a right – even a RESPONSIBILITY – to inquire of their motives.
Honest people coming forward to make a presentation to the government is one thing.
However, if it’s really a Kabuki theater where the people are merely manipulated props put there by the unions…

This is a soros funded, Cnn promoted event. what are these people’s problem they should be happy to have a job. Let’s get Fox news report to the event and have them badger the protesters saying things like “do you know that the unemployment rate in 8.8%? what are you protesting you have a job!
