Idea for die-hard union supporters

With all of the turmoil in the job market, what is needed is a new, fresh idea to create jobs. Jobs, good paying, American, Union jobs. Well, I have just such a fresh idea. And, in the process, we could kill off Walmart - because we all know Walmart is the definition of an evil corporation.

OK - someone should form a chain of low-price superstores, just like Walmart. Except, these stores will:

  • All be fully Unionized
  • Offer excellent benefits
  • Offer zero-deductible Health Insurance
  • Offer generous vacation
  • Offer benefits to all, even part-time, employees
  • Offer automatic cost-of-living raises
  • Offer on-site day care for employees dependents
  • Offer paid time-off for personal chores
  • Give you your birthday as a paid holiday
  • Only buy from fully union suppliers
  • Only use fully unionize trucking companies
  • Only do business with companies that have not shipped our jobs overseas
  • Only buy goods produced in America, by Americans (unionized, of course)
  • Never lay anyone off, no matter how bad things get

Now, in order to succeed, only a couple simple things need to happen:

  • Hope that people won't mind paying 30-50% more for the goods in these stores, due to the out of control labor costs
  • Hope people won't mind the lack of selection, since no foreign made goods will be allowed
  • Hope that all the union members in the US (now working mostly in Government Jobs) will support these stores, even at inflated prices. I am sure they will, right? Because unions all stick together, right?


But, I am looking for investors. This idea is SURE to be a winner. How could it fail? It will implement every policy being pushed by the Left in this country. It is very close to what the big 3 automakers have agreed to in the past. It worked for them, right? Oh, wait - that's right - they are all failing now.

But if the store gets in trouble, we will just bail them out, right? It seems to be working for the Automakers. Right?
