Five stores in China are trying to do to Wal-Mart Stores what no one else in the world has been able to do.
The five stores have unionized and they are trying to get the other 55 Wal-Mart stores in China to follow suit.
Wal-Mart, usually one to tell rather than talk, requested a meeting with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU).
This is Wal-Mart Store's first step in response to the unions.
Wal-Mart doesn't do business with unions, or at least hasn't until now. Wal-Mart Stores, until now, has always been big enough to make demands of laborers and most anyone was just happy to have a contract with them.
But, who would have thought that China would be the 'little guys' in this battle with Wal-Mart Stores.
No date for the meeting of Wal-Mart and ACFTU has been set. But, just the fact that Wal-Mart is willing to talk at all is a giant step for the giant panda.
What do you think?
go to 老毕看中国
So although the date is still in the air, quote your word, the panda will get what it want.
