Union drive at Wal-Mart

Do you ever wonder why prices at Walmart are so cheap? It is not because the quality of the products are bad or any different then buying them else where, but the wages they pay their employees are low. Walmart employees are trying to become unionized, but the company doesn't believe that having their employees apart of a union is effective. When employees are hired they watch a video on why being apart of a union is bad. Also when employee's talk about wanting to be a part of a union Walmart steps in and has them watch more video or transfers the group so they are not in the same area concocting a plan. While Walmart is trying to keep costs down they pay their employees close to minimum wage and most of the benefits are to expense for the employees to pay for.
