Robert Reich, the former Clinton Labor Secretary turned-MSNBC Contributor, is targeting some of America’s Largest Companies by calling for a massive Unionization Drive of their Workforces and argues that these Companies should embrace Organized Labor.

ABSOLUTELY, THESE COMPANIES CAN AFFORD TO ADOPT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WITH A UNION ORGANIZATION, AND PAYING THEIR WORKERS MORE MONEY.
A GREAT EXAMPLE IS THE RETAIL CONGLOMERATE, WAL-MART:
On average, Wal-Mart pays their Workers $8.81 per hour, but they work less than 28 hours a week and henceforth DO NOT QUALIFY for benefits.
How ironic?
But for 2012, WAL-MART had earnings of $16 billion.
Furthermore, the wealth of the WALTON FAMILY now exceeds the wealth of the bottom 40% of American Families - combined, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute.
So, yes WAL-MART shouldn't have fears of being Unionized.
Nor should McDonalds and many other PIGS AT THE TROUGH.
Imagine, for a mere 19 center per hour, WAL-MART could be paying its Workers the $9-per-hour Minimum Wage that President Obama spoke of during his State of the State Address!
