Chicago Sun-Times:

In many areas starved for retail businesses, welcoming a Wal-Mart would be a no-brainer.

I hope that Chicago labor and, the local unions realize that this is a true Waterloo moment for them and their cause. Failure to keep Chicago Wal Mart free, will be the first sign that the power of local labor is in weakened state and, needs a transfusion quickly. Keep up the fight, Brothers and Sisters.

Keep up the good work Chicago and Just Say No to Walmart. Though Walmart may offer some discounts and some jobs, they have caused far more damage than good to the retail landscape. And they prey on the poor. Keep em out!

This isn't about jobs or protecting small businesses. Wal-Mart has cruched the numbers and has figured they can make a good buck selling their junk.
