OUR Wal-Mart
The New York Times has an interesting article about a non-union employee group organizing Wal-Mart workers. The Group, OUR Wal-Mart, does not intend to negotiate collective bargaining agreements, but does intend on assisting workers by using the protections afforded organizing and collective action. It also charges $5 a month in dues. The group is supported by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). Wal-Mart spokesperson claims this group is a stalking horse for a union. I think its more than that. Sounds like a labor organization.
