Another union loss at Walmart

Labor unions were dealt yet another defeat at the hands of Walmart this past week. Employees in the tire and lube express at a Colorado Walmart supercenter voted on whether or not to unionize their department with the United Food and Commerical Workers Union (UFCW). The UFCW has been trying to unionize Walmart for years, their only success so far being a lone meat department in a Texas store. Following that, Walmart decided to make their meat departments self service nationwide.

I am actually surprised that the unions have not won anywhere else. Having once worked for the evil empire, my experience was that they did not treat people all that well. But anyone who knows me is probably aware of how I feel about unions (hint: its one reason I could never be a democrat).
