As Wal-Mart Concedes, Council Members Gloat
in response to reader comment: City Elected Officers

Submitted by John E. Kraft, Mar 29, 2007 17:49

Out here in Nevada the Wal Marts (regular and super center stores) give solid employment to single mothers who are trying to drag themselves and their children out of poverty and into lives of dignity. How many labor unions try to develop training and apprentice programs for that group of women? Few, if any. Here is a retail operator who provides jobs to disabled, divorced and disadvantaged people and the elected officials think that is a bad thing. Wonders will never cease!
