If the unions can keep Walmart from hiring fulltime employees who are only allowed to work 38 hours a week in order to keep them ineligible for benefits, I'm all for it.

I have only know a couple of people who worked at Walmart, and they weren't as happy with the environment as your friends were. They were grateful they had a job - yes. They just wanted to be able to make a living wage.

I think unions are good. I don't want to see a return to the American 'slave' labor of the industrial revolution.
