Wal-Mart in Chicago

Not if the locals have anything to do with it.

I'm not sure why. Wal-Mart is building a store in Chicago and the locals are protesting. I guess that jobs with health care, competitive wages, and benefits don't fit into the neighborhood. Maybe the availability of low cost goods isn't right for the area. Does Wal-Mart push other stores out of business? Well - maybe. Maybe the local stores need to improvise, adapt, overcome. Offer value with their products. Service and support sells.

I wonder,if Wal-Mart was a union shop would the opinion change?
