AntidisestablishmentWalMartarianism©
“The
battle for the heart’s and mind’s of Wal-Mart’s
two million employees.”
 THE
SPEECH: “Antidisestablishmentwalmartarianism”
is a term coined by Michael Bergdahl, a 26 year HR Professional,
who defines it as, “the opposition by Wal-Mart’s leaders
to the unionization of its non-union workforce anywhere in the world!”
As the “Director
of People” at Wal-Mart, Bergdahl had the chance to work directly
with the founder of Wal-Mart, Sam Walton, from whom he learned firsthand
the behind the scenes story of the famous Wal-Mart culture.”
In this speech
Bergdahl describes the ongoing battle between union organizers and
Wal-Mart’s leaders, and why after decades of effort not one
of the more than 4000 USA Wal-Mart stores has a collective bargaining
agreement. This is a remarkable accomplishment given the fact that
the company has been under a corporate union campaign for decades.
Bergdahl believes Wal-Mart has no choice but to battle unionization,
because remaining union-free is not only the key to the company’s
continued profitability, it may also be the key to its long term
survival!
Why are the
unions so interested in organizing Wal-Mart’s employees? Why
are Wal-Mart’s leaders such adamant antidistablishmentwalmartarians?
In this speech he answers these questions as he reviews, “The
Wal-Mart Way,” and its employee relations practices that have
contributed to maintaining its non-union status.
Audience members
will learn some of the inside leadership secrets of “The Sam
Walton Way” which are utilized to this day by company leaders.
Bergdahl reviews Wal-Mart’s “best people practices”
that have contributed to Wal-Mart becoming the world’s largest
company, and which have helped keep its stores union-free!
