  •  The ironies involved in this are multi-layered (none / 0)

    Ok, the wal-mart anti-union great wall may be breached in a country that was founded on the ideals of worker's rights and equality, but that quickly lost sight of this idealism against the seduction of authoritarianism, so much so that they only have one legal union and it's for all intents and purposes an arm of the government.  Yet it is this trade organization that could actually act in a way that might be a step forward for workers afterall.  Left, right.  It's dizzying, really.

    Also, I hate this crap:

    "Benchmarked against China's other leading retailers, we have less than 20 percent turnover and that's very low for the industry...

    What the hell does that mean?  There are so many qualifiers to that number that it is useless and not worth reporting.

    Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear. ~William E. Gladstone, 1866
