All American goods in through the back door also, This shouldn't go ahead as its going to cripple some suppliers. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

But do you remember when Walmart first took over ASDA in 1999 and it was supposed to be a devastating move for the UK retail sector? It never really happened. History is littered with companies that have tried to move into different countries and failed eg

But is it a double bluff Dorset? Walmart will have 42% of the new joint company and in 10 years could take the lot.

The FT this morning reckons that it's really all about Amazon moving into food. They are giving Walmart a rough time in the US and are getting both Tesco and Sainsbury's worried over here (hence Tesco's deal with Booker this year and Sainsbury's deal with Argos). Also Walmart are looking at opening in India and need some more cash.

The statement was "there will be no redundancies or store closures as a result of the merger" he didn't say there will no redundancies or closures due to other reasons, they may well be due to reasons not directly connected with the merger it's how the news is quoted not what the management thinking is. To you and me it may be connected, to the the bean counters and higher management it isn't |

A friend used to work at our local Sainsbury’s and she has several contacts there still. She was telling me today that numerous cuts/redundancies have been made to supervisors and team leaders over the last few months in the build up to the merger being announced. New contracts are being issued in September to those remaining and this will lead to the staff being trained in new areas and clauses being put in so that bosses can deploy them to other stores beyond their usual store.
