American workers are screwed. If you want workers' rights - move to South Africa. Wal Mart just inked a new deal to open up stores across South Africa - but in order to get the deal done - Wal Mart had to make some concessions -honoring union contracts among workers. And it's not only in South Africa - Wal Mart lets workers unionize all over the world in Brazil - Argentina - China - and the United Kingdom - everywhere except...here in the United States.
In America - Wal Mart is considered one of the fiercest opponents of unionization - spending millions of dollars to defeat pro-union legislation in Congress - and resorting to underhanded tactics to kill off any organizing attempts among its American workforce.
Since America embraced so-called Free Trade - American workers have seen their wages and rights collapse.
