ABC's Good Morning America ran a piece on Hillary Clinton and Wal-Mart. Both the fact that Hillary Clinton served on Wal-Mart's Board and Hillary's criticism of Wal-Mart are well known and well established.

1. Hillary is a strong supporter of organized labor and enjoys strong support from organized labor. The reason Senator Clinton has been endorsed by unions representing six million Americans is because she knows that they have been essential to our nation's success.

2.Throughout her career, Senator Clinton has stood with all workers as they exercised their right to organize and bargain collectively. Hillary has said that if elected President, she will sign the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation she sponsored in the Senate, into law so that we can create an atmosphere where workers can choose to form a union free from employer coercion and bargain collectively. Hillary has actively opposed anti-collective bargaining provisions contained in the Department of Defense's proposed National Security Personnel System and has voted in favor of collective bargaining rights for TSA screeners.

3.As the first women on Wal-Mart's board, Hillary worked hard to make Wal-Mart a better corporate citizen.

Wal-Mart Board member: `Was Wal-Mart a better company, with better practices, because Hillary was on board? Yes.' "Did Hillary like all of Wal-Mart practices? No," said Garry Mauro, a longtime friend and supporter of the Clintons who sat on the Wal-Mart Environmental Advisory Board with Mrs. Clinton in the late 1980s and worked with her on George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign." But," Mr. Mauro added, "was Wal-Mart a better company, with better practices, because Hillary was on the board? Yes." [New York Times, 5/20/07]

I think the best measure of Clinton union support would be the last time they were in the White House.     I honestly don't know their record, but that is when NAFTA passed correct?

Hillary will lead us down a path with no good outcomes.  Stop the Walmartization of America.  Stop Hillary.

Michelle Obama has deep and controversial ties to Wal-Mart.

So this is the "new politics?"  Timed "hit" pieces that appear right before Super Tuesday about something 20 years old.  I hope people see this for what it is.

The following statement is inconsistent with sitting on the board of the largest private U.S. employer that, from the beginning, has made busting unions part of it's business plan.

"Hillary is a strong supporter of organized labor ..."

On the other hand, Chinese state-puppet unions get to organize Wal-Marts in China.

Human Rights Watch acknowledged that many companies employ similar tactics to keep unions out. But study author Carol Pier, the group's senior researcher for labor rights, said Wal-Mart's efforts dwarfed those of several of its competitors combined. "Wal-Mart does stand out for the sheer magnitude and aggressiveness of its anti-union apparatus," she said.

Human Rights Watch said it began investigating Wal-Mart's stance on unions in 2004 after reports of extreme measures it took to keep unions out.

One of the most-cited examples came in 2000, when 11 meat cutters at a Texas store won union recognition, the first in the company's history. Soon after, Wal-Mart eliminated the positions at 180 stores in six states. It has said the two events were not related. In 2005, Wal-Mart shuttered a store in Canada after workers voted to unionize. At the time, the company said the employees' demands would have made it impossible for the store to sustain its business. But last year, Wal-Mart said it would allow the All-China Federation of Trade Unions to set up outlets in its stores in China.

I wonder how much Wal-Mart paid Hillary to sit on the board and look the other way.

Sounds like Walmart took advantage of the fact the the population was desperate and the Clinton's were willing participants. The last time I checked a companies board of directors looks after one thing...profits.

When was the last time a company willingly unionized ? It is always an 'us against them' fight. Face it the Clinton's were on the 'them' side.
