Chicago runs Wal-Mart out of town.

Bottom feeding, anti-union, and funder of school privatizers, Wal-Mart, has been run out of town, reports the Trib.

Wal-Mart got the word from city officials last month that Mayor Richard Daley doesn’t want to risk a messy showdown with unions over Wal-Mart—like the big-box store battle of 2006—while Chicago is still in the running as a host city for the 2016 Olympics, according to people familiar with the matter. The International Olympic Committee is slated to make that decision in October 2009.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

    I love how unions are important because they don’t want to mess around with any of their Olympic chances. It’s no wonder why NYC didn’t get the Olympics, and he learned his lesson the hard way.
