I moved my reply to this off subject forum
J, I'm not a union member,but I had a lot of union members working for me(CWA). But, I too despise WalMart. I buy from the small business man whenever possible. My Dad instilled that in me. He was a small business man. I too look at labels when buying. We just had a company that made a large majority of socks(Renfro) here in the USA that went under. Another huge company here (Pulaski Furniture) has 93% of their furniture made in China. All of their furniture was made here in the US 20 years ago.
As I have written in this forum before, if someone will tell me where to buy everyday items that is made in America I will.
We are also fighting a Zoning ordinance here in my home county. I have tried, at Board of Supr. meetings, to tell the Supervisors that they cannot stop Walmart from doing what they want to do. We fought it for 3 years and lost.
WalMart does as they please, when they please and where they please. That is the bottom line and I don't like it.
As they say, my 2 cents.
