Remember, they're not anti-union, but they're not neutral either.
EDIT: Since people seem to be missing the joke here, this is a common line in anti-union propaganda training videos.
They literally got rid of the deli meats counter because they voted to unionize. They are completely anti union
For anyone who doesn't know, I was quoting their union-busting videos.
Amazon and Lowe's use that same line.
Anyone who thinks they're not anti union isn't paying attention.
the in-store butchers and bakery, too, iirc.
I worked for a Wal-Mart once. They literally have anti union propaganda in their training material
Also Ross. They're a gross company that treats their workers like shit. When you start working there they give you pamphlets on how to sign up for social services like food stamps. They also have one of those employee funds, where everyone pays into it every month and if someone has an emergency they can use money from it. Maybe if they paid their employees a livable wage they wouldn't need makeshift insurance funded by their impoverished workers. So fucked up.
I would've expected you to get the joke then.
