Oct 11 - Walmart Workers Planning Black Friday Strike

MOBILE, Alabama - The latest news in the Walmart labor protests is the threat of a strike on Black Friday, according to ABC News.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is considered the busiest retail day of the year.

Walmart employees have already protested in Dallas, San Diego, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Roughly 200 angry protesters showed up at a meeting of investors and analysts Wednesday at Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.

Walmart, according to ABC, has been a target of workers' rights groups, who advocate higher wages, more flexibility in hours and an end to the punishments (reduced shifts, for instance) they claim are meted out to workers seeking to unionize.

Evelin Cruz, a department manager at Walmart in Pico Rivera, Calif., told ABC News that for many years she kept quiet about what she views as the company's unjust labor practices because she feared she would be fired if she spoke up.

"People were really tired that any time they would speak out against the pay, hours, how much they would work, that management would cut their hours or not give them a schedule," said Cruz, who is one of thousands of members of Our Walmart, a labor organization backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers that defends Walmart workers' rights.

Poor decision, Wal-Mart could fire the whole store and have a new staff in 30 minutes.

They have unions?

All them sum !!es gonna turn up missing.
I heard that Wal Mart brands their employees on the buttocks with 2 Ws on each cheek.

But I aint one to gossip so you aint heard that from me.

No you didnt.

If I was Walmart, to prove a point, I would call their bluff. And if they happened to be brave enough to do it, then I'd fire all of them for not showing up to work. Yeah, it would hit my pocket, but it would sent a strong example to all the other Walmart stores that I'm willing to take that loss just to prove a point. And that point is: You don't run ****.
