Wal-Mart finally gets unionized, in China

The perverse idea of the communist Chinese sponsoring unions has me scratching my head. The unions are not private, they are controlled by the government, the government is communist, the communists are supposed to be the party of the people. I don't get it.

Why would workers need a union in a workers paradise? If the Chinese don't like working for Wal-Mart, they can go back to the 'people's factory' and get paid in fish heads or something.

Wal-Mart, stop selling goods made in prison factories....... Sorry, never mind.
Wal-Mart, stop selling goods that violate trademark laws.....Sorry, never mind.
Wal-Mart, stop selling goods made in polluting factories.....Sorry, never mind.

Um, Wal-Mart we want to be paid in cash, not fish heads, is that ok?

Cowboy,
It a union is good enough for government workers in California, surely it is good enough for the Chinese.

Cowboy,

The Chinese are going to learn a lesson if they push WalMart too hard with this union thing. WalMart has changed its focus to profitability from growth at any costs. Please see WalMart Finally Gets It.
