8. It's not Wal-Mart that employs these guys, it's NFI.

They just happen to be moving Wal-Mart product, but NFI moves freight for a great many different retailers.

If that place would organize, Wal-Mart would stop using them the next day.

Wal-Mart wants nothing to stand in the way of a delivering a smooth supply chain, and a Labor strike would make them drop you as a business partner immediately.
