“BEIJING, China (AP) -- Employees at a Wal-Mart store in southern China set up the company's fifth Chinese union Tuesday amid an official campaign to unionize all of the country's 60 Wal-Mart outlets, news reports said.”
So they can unionize Chinese Wal-Marts, but in Quebec they shut the stores down rather than let the union in. That’s the difference between a potential market of over 1 billion and one of, give or take, 7 million, I guess.
Management must think that the market’s so big they can afford to pay employees fairly. What a foreign concept. Also, I suppose Chinese workers have to make a bit more in order to afford all those Chinese-made Wal-Mart products. It’s Henry Ford and the Model T (or was it A?), all over again. At this rate, they should be able to close all Western Wal-Marts in no time and keep all production and all sales in Asia. Hmmm.
They won’t need us, will they?

where will rv's camp if all the wal-marts in north america close down???
crisis, this
I don't go there either. We have Zellers instead of Target. It serves the same purpose, avoiding evil Wal-Mart.
so target = zellers?
