Video: Ministers rally around Wal-Mart

Crain's Chicago Business' Jackie Keenan reports on a coalition of 200 South Side ministers who hope to bring more Wal-Marts--and jobs--to the city.

The clergymen and women shepherd 100,000 congregants.

The nation's third-largest city has just one Wal-Mart, labor unions and their compliant politicians have blocked more stores from opening. Illinois' unemployment rate is 11.1 percent.



Watch as the ministers dismiss the organized labor's feeble arguments against the world's largest retailer.

Less than a year from now the first round of Chicago's municipal elections will be held.
