Walmart's Leaked Anti-Union Training Video

http://gawker.com/walmarts-leaked-anti-union-training-video-this-isnt-ab-1705509442

&feature=player_embedded


Starting at about the 2:30 mark, you’ll hear:


Our company prefers to have open and direct communication with our associates—we don’t think a labor union is necessary here. And because our associates have said time after time that they don’t want a union, we usually don’t spend a lot of time talking about them.

Of course, this is easy to do when you shut down stores as soon as employees start making noise.

The ones that they had for Comcast were much better than this

They even asked some of us that worked there to read from a "script" to help other employees learn more about the big bad evil Unions!

If you look at the harm they cause, civilly, so to speak, it correlates well to murder.

We should not allow their existence as it stands for one more minute.

We are openly accepting this crime against US everyday they are open for business.

She's right. Don't need no fuckin' union.

Why last November, I recall where employees at a Walmart shop put out a box were employees could put in donations of canned food for fellow employees who could not afford food for their holiday. That's pulling together to help our fellow employees who work their asses off, full time, but can't afford to feed their families.

What fuckin' union would do that for you?
