Walmart's Death Grip on Groceries Is Making Life Worse for Millions of People (Hard Times USA)

[freshwest]

5. I'm fortunate to live in a region where WalMart is shunned and grocery workers are in unions.

I may be wrong, but I feel the conditions described are most common in red areas where the conservative mindset is not only in the owners, but the workers themselves who don't unionize. Their communities are against unions. Prosperty doesn't trickle down, it's from the ground up. But some areas are more concerned about gays and abortion and religion than they are about the basic facts of economics that would help.
I'm not sure what will make a difference, although I'm hoping the new labor secretary will make inroads to help. They are in terrible working conditions.
