Wake up people, one day we will all be at the mercy of non-union shops. Its already affecting many employees nationwide. When one day your employer decides to cut your wages/benifits.....tell me how easy it is to find another job in your profession. In most cases we will have to bite the bullet.

A wise man on the other thread made the above captioned post.
What that wise man fails to acknowledge is that what was, no longer is. The world has turned, it is forever changed; it changed in the 90's the day that the entire contents of the Library of Congress was sent around the world in less than 15 minutes via the internet.
Technology and global communications has created trade in ways mankind could never have imagined. The idea that we should buy "our own stuff" is laughable. Anytime man has been able to buy the same thing for less or something better for the same money, he has done it.
Now we have within our grasp the ability to manufacture and contract for goods and services in faraway places. No strike, no union, no outcry or outrage, organized or otherwise, will prevent that from happening.
Competition is competition. I will win some and I will lose some, but I must compete.
There's an expression I heard that goes something like:
"Every day the lion must awake and be able to outrun the slowest gazelle to survive.
Every day the gazelle must awake and be able to outrun the fastest lion.
When you wake up and your feet hit the floor, you'd better be running."
Walmart isn't evil. It is simply a stanchion representing a change that has already taken place. The competition is now global. We may not like the new rules, but those are the new rules.
If you want quality, you gotta pay.
