July 9, 2008 Gift for Wal-Mart: The National Labor Relations Board just found Wal-Mart guilty
of illegally firing a union supporter, bribing employees, and discriminatorily 
refusing to protect union supporters from the harassment of their anti-union coworker, 
all in an effort to prevent workers from forming a union at its Kingman, AZ, store.
How is this decision a gift to Wal-Mart? Because it was issued eight years after the organizing
 effort began; eight years after it could have had any impact on the union effort. 
Thus Wal-Mart breaks the law, successfully squashes the union effort, benefits from the slow
case-handling procedures at the NLRB, and merely has to pony up a
little back pay and interest to the employee it fired. It's no wonder
this country's largest private employer
has managed to stay entirely union-free.
