Someone needs to print a shitload of these up and plaster them all over the front doors at WalMart and Target....

Urgh, I'm glad this is finally happening cause to be honest I'm kind of tired of hearing about it. I really don't think this is gonna change anything, if anything it's gonna prompt more people to go off half-cocked and get themselves fired for talking union on the floor.

I'd love to be wrong about this, but I'm just so over the whole concept that we need to educate working people about their rights on the job. Not only do you barely have any, but the bosses will always violate them and, because of the NLRB's slim mandate and slow-moving nature, will usually get away with it. Not only that, it reinforces the idea for people that unionism is based on legalism, which is a conversation that we try so hard to move beyond.

This is the sop thrown out after Obama and co. abandoned their promise to enact the EFCA.

Bosses don't even really have to post this. If they don't nothing happens. Unless a worker or union opens an NLRB case over it. Then the NLRA has stated they will assume that it was a mistake, and simply ask the employer to post it. If they still don't? More nothing, because "the Board does not have the authority to levy fines."

Have you seen the demographic that shops at Wal Mart? They'd beat the shit out of you and call you a communist

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

I know some communists that shop at Wal-Mart.

I don't want to stand out as the only optimist here but it offered as a platform for several conversations so far which is all I had expected from it (as I said in a thread several months ago). It made it easier to talk about work place organizing.

k-mart's also good for bargains

I've always been a costco man myself. So much shit, at such good prices. In any case the demographic that shops at walmart, k-mart, and costco is the proletarian demographic. the demographic that shops at free trade type places is the petit-bourgeoisie.

Propaganda is a powerful thing and most working class people believe communism is some sort of dictatorship.

Hey, so does everyone want me to just change the thread title to 'where do you shop?'

sorry :(

I'm going to bet that my employer will have this conspicuously placed besides the posting on minimum wage - the area of the store where we literally spend maybe ten seconds running through during a shift. I'm also willing to bet people pass these postings, without reading, on the way to the off-the-clock work my employer coerces us into doing.
