Wal Mart and the Paupers

Today the Nation Labor Relations Board sided with workers against Wal Mart employees trying to take a stand against Wal Mart's anti-labor practices. 

In its statement, the NLRB explained: “During two national television news broadcasts and in statements to employees at Walmart stores in California and Texas, Walmart unlawfully threatened employees with reprisal if they engaged in strikes and protests on November 22, 2012.” It also ruled that “Walmart stores in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Washington unlawfully threatened, disciplined, and/or terminated employees for having engaged in legally protected strikes and protests.”

This is a major victory for everyone. Wal Mart workers are pushed onto Medicaid and Food Stamps because if the chains abysmal wages. Taxpayers are literally footing the bill for Wal Mart's low prices.

If we want a market based economy, it's time we actually stood up and held the free marketeers accountable for their actions. 

Otherwise, allow the government to subsidize private employees. Of course, that would require that we stop slashing spending to SNAP and TANF benefits.
