Chicago Tells Wal- Mart : No Expansion, This is a Union Town

Powerful Chicago Alderman Burke, the man who runs Chicago gives Wal-Mart a message.The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
“Chicago is a strong union town. ... If every other organization can agree to [make it easier for unions to organize], why can’t Walmart? They can build 14 stores here. All they have to do is make a commitment to the rights of working men and women in Chicago to organize,” Burke said.
Alderman Burke's law firm isn't unionized.
