Wal-Mart Worker’s Death Seen As Reason to Embrace the Union Agenda

(CNSNews.com) – A pro-union group is suggesting that the death of a temporary worker at a Long Island Wal-Mart on Black Friday stems partly from the fact that Wal-Mart workers are not unionized.

Wal-Mart Watch, a group that includes a union leader on its board of directors, issued a press release on Tuesday responding to the death of the worker who was trampled when the store opened and the crowd surged in.

While Jdimytai Damour’s death was a “tragic accident,” it also reflects Wal-Mart’s “blatant disregard for the concern and safety of its workers and customers,” said David Nassar, executive director of Wal-Mart Watch.
