Edwards and Obama Battle Against Wal-Mart
in response to reader comment: Walmart and Christmas

Submitted by Sherry Stover, Nov 18, 2006 20:43

The only reason the unions are so obsessed with unionizing Wal-Mart is with the millions of Wal-Mart workers, think of the union dues they could collect. The money rolling in to the unons would be staggering. Politicians like Edwards and Obama receive the majority of their revenue to get them elected for these special interest groups so it is understandable that they need must back their union contributors.
