Re: Walmart costs California

>Wal-Mart questioned the validity of the report, saying the authors
undervalued the wages and benefits the chain's employees receive.
The UC report comes from the Berkeley Labor Center, an institute that is
openly supportive of union causes. Although its researchers have in the past
accepted funding from the grocery workers' union to conduct studies, this
report was not funded by labor, its authors said.<
 
"_openly_ supportive of union causes"? do they ever say "openly
supportive of corporate causes"? is Labor is such bad shape that
it's a market of shame to support it?
