The Obama administration continues its war on capitalism.
The AFL-CIO announced today Obama’s National Labor Relations Board will prosecute the nation’s largest retailer Walmart. The AFL-CIO Blog reported:
Making Change at Walmart, a coalition of Walmart associates, small business owners, religious leaders and other members of the community that are fighting to make change at the nation’s largest employer, announced today the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will prosecute Walmart for its “widespread violations of its workers’ rights.” The decision will provide additional protection for Walmart’s 1.3 million employees when they are speaking out for better jobs and working conditions.
The coalition was advised Monday that the NLRB ‘s General Counsel is prepared to prosecute a complaint against Walmart for illegal firings and disciplinary actions involving more than 117 workers, including those who went on strike last June.
The decision addresses allegations of threats by managers and the company’s national spokesperson discouraging workers from striking and illegal disciplinary actions against workers who were on legally protected strikes. Workers could win back pay, reinstatement and the reversal of disciplinary actions as a result of the decision; and Walmart could be required to inform and educate all employees of their legally protected rights.

I was under the impression that Walmart was already fully behind amnesty. Perhaps they have gotten behind on their protection $$$ and needed a reminder.
