Blogger News Item (Oct 12 2003 16:25 GMT) - Avoid Wal-Mart or "Go Union" The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) has been trying to unionize Wal-Mart for years and have been unsuccessful because of the vicious tactics of the chain including eliminating in-store meat cutting and wrapping after butchers in Texas voted to organize. The company was recently found guilty of firing a union supporter and had to restore him with full back pay. The UFCW argues that Wal-Mart's "bargain basement wages" are driving down wages for all of their employees. While shopping at a union store is preferable, the UFCW asks that if you still choose to shop at Wal-Mart (or Sam's Club owned by the same company) that you "go union". Wear union buttons, badges, shirts, or pins and talk to the employees about why you are in a union. |

Blogger News Item (Oct 12 2003 16:25 GMT) - The Daily Olympian refused to publish these "form letters" from Iraq. Is this another deception by the Administration? Are they now deceiving our troops as well as the people in the United States? Do these little "deceptions" show a continuing thought pattern so evident in the President's State of the Union address? Question authority! |

Blogger News Item (Oct 12 2003 16:25 GMT) - Got Away Cheap Yesterday I visited the local Apple Store. I swear, every time I go in that place I could spend my whole damn paycheck. I had to stand a few paces pack from the new G5 so I wouldn't drool all over it. I almost walked out of there with a new 40GB iPod. I figure I got away cheap though. |
