Workplace safety?  At Walmart?  Really?  From what? A paper cut?  An
out of control cash drawer?  Maybe I don't have a complete picture of
what dangers await the daily lives of a Walmart worker.

During my lifetime, I have watched an extended union strike put
Eastern Airlines completely out of business in Atlanta, which put alot
of my childhood friend's parents out of work. That was about money,
not workplace safety.

The only thing I've seen unions do is ask for more money.  I've never
seen any improvements other than negotiations for a raise, something I
think most people should know how to do themselves.

Coal mines have collapsed in the US lately - have they gone on strike
over it yet?  Are they Unionized?  I'm actually asking, I don't know
the answer.  It would be interesting to see if Unions are making a
difference even where safety is a big issue.
