Walmart does not believe in having unions a part of their business. Walmart however is not anti-union, it just does not believe that a union is right for their company. This is understandable to some, and there is much controversy over this subject. Many people believe that Walmart should have unions to protect their workers. Walmart has many strong points to how its business is run. They offer many jobs for a diverse group of workers some even with handicaps. Walmart feels that in order to be as successful as possible unions should not be a part of their corporation.
Commercially i think that Walmart is affected because it can look bad that they do not want a union. Which is protecting their workers. My personal beliefs on this is that unions are great but because Walmart doesn't have them as part of their corporation they are able to speak to the managers and higher up people on not the same level but in a respectable way. I think that Walmart is very good at paying well due to position and giving people jobs that might not have gotten them somewhere else.
I feel that they are a huge part of communities but they are not the whole part so this enables it to benefit the community but not monopolize it. The people can gain jobs from Walmart with flexible hours that will work for people who maybe have troubled getting employed. It also gives jobs to a lot of teenagers and young adults that maybe aren't as concerned with so many worker rights. Walmart also gives benefits to certain people and depending on how much you work and how long you have been working for their company.

I think that commercially Walmart also looks very good to many people, because of the reasons listed above. It really does give their workers the things they need depending on what they put into the company. Hard work is rewarded at walmart which i think is good. People these days just expect all these things to come to them for free and that they should get a job with all of these bonuses, but really they have worker rights, they are being treated well and according to the standards. If they work hard and are devoted to the company they will receive higher pay and more benefits. This is the law of the harvest, which i think is good for a large company.

In conclusion I would just like to say that Walmart is a growing corporation that is a part of almost all of our communities. I feel that if you don't agree with the way the run their company don't shop their and most definitely do not work there. Walmart helps many people with their low prices and jobs and it is up to you if you agree with they way they run things and if you are going to participate in a worldwide phenomenon that has taken off. Everyone can have their own opinion of this but i feel that Walmart is doing good things for communities.
