STOP WAL-MART from EXPANDING IN GRANITE CITY!!!

It is bad enough the city let it build here in the first place, but now they are considering letting the Wal-Mart on Pontoon Rd. expand into a SUPERCENTER. WHY IS THIS A BAD IDEA? Here are just 5 REASONS:

1--Wal-Mart has the WORST UNION RECORD IN THE WORLD! A new Wal-Mart will eliminate good Union jobs.

2--Wal-Mart buys 70% of its products from CHINA.

3--Wal-Mart will bring more TRAFFIC, and require big investments in infrastructure

4--Wal-Mart brings CRIME--The current Wal-Mart had 492 police calls last year--costing the city almost $40,000 in police time. Now they want to expand.

5--A SuperCenter will draw business away from downtown--and BANKRUPT LOCAL BUSINESSES-- and take away good jobs.


Wal-Mart is not a good neighbor, and Granite City must stop it from expanding, and ruining our town.

Please join us in telling the City Council—NO! NO—to Wal-Mart! NO—to eliminating Union jobs! NO-to selling out our town!

Please sign our petition and INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS in comments section.

I support this petition for the well-being of Granite City. Wal Mart's trade policies destroy American jobs and rely upon economically damaging outsourcing. In addition, Wal Mart's proposed expansion will congest the relatively free-flowing Route 3. The expansion will also detract from downtown's greatly needed redevelopment.

Wal-mart is the image of everything wrong with our country - quantity takes precedence over quality, an individual is worth nothing unless she contributes to the bottom line, and our environment is for exploiting not treasuring.

Are you kidding me, They can care less about the residence of Granite City. They sell toys that are unsafe for children and are rude people all together

If Union folks shop Walmart then they support Walmart having 2000 sweatshops in China. Does anyone out there have any moral standards left? Is it all about GREED???

I'm a Member in good standing of local 881. I feel any expansion of our local Wal-Mart would not be in this city's best interest.

Several cities in the area have already lost stores with good paying jobs to walmart who pays min wage and almost no insurance. I think it will bring our town down just when things are starting to look up.
