RIGHT ON, “GOOD JOBS CHICAGO!!”
Wal-Mart has no problem publicly saying that they pay their employees over $11/hr, but they won’t sign a CBA which would legally confirm it?? Something smells fishy…
If over 1000 people coming together doesn’t show that the community wants Living Wage Jobs, I don’t know what is.
LIVING WAGE JOBS OR ELSE!!!
Booker Vance along with the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are trying to keep the ethnic community dumb and dependent, wake up my brothers, use your own brain and common sense and get away from the thinking that will keep you dependent instead of independent.
Our city is stopping progress and crippling our community by these outrageous demands imposed on Wal-Mart. I hope Wal-Mart don’t cave in to the demands and also remain non unionized for the unions are destroying free market in America.
