Wal-Mart may think they can just shut down a store because its employees decided they wanted a union and no one would notice, but people are sitting up and taking notice.
Here is a list of just some of the coverage this story has been getting:

Can you call (1-800-Wal-Mart) or e-mail Wal-Mart and tell them you think it's reprehensible that they are simply firing workers who chose to be represented by a union. Let them know that the world is watching, and they can't simply dismiss workers because they don't like unions.
