Whatever other song-and-dance routines they come up with, the anti-Wal-Mart jihad is driven by one force: Wal-Mart’s consistent opposition to labor unions. If Wal-Mart recognized and began negotiating with the unions, all would be forgotten, and we would hear no more about “ugly box stores,” or purchases from China, or any of the other phoney criticisms. Even Hillary might show up at a store for a photo-op to show her “solidarity” with the blue-collar folk!
