Daley: Wal-Mart has no chance in Chicago

AP:

Mayor Richard Daley contends there is no chance the latest effort to have a Wal-Mart built on Chicago's South Side will succeed.

Daley said Thursday that even though the store would generate tax revenue and create jobs for neighborhood residents, there aren't enough votes in the City Council to pass the required redevelopment agreement.

Opposition to Wal-Mart has come from labor unions, who claim the retailer does not pay workers adequately and skimp on benefits.

Daley's floor leader in the City Council, Alderman Pat O'Connor, says Brookins' latest effort comes at a time the city is trying to keep peace with the unions.

It's still about the unions. If this fight is about jobs let's not forget that they already have their jobs. Should they be worried about those without?

This fight is even more complicated as Daley wants to woo the Olympics to Chicago. Let's see what happens.
