Okay, I am getting two very different takes on the Walmart strikes
The media is reporting a very small percentage less than .0001 percent or if any wal-mart employees are on strike and it is just composed of outside agitators.
And the underground media reporting Wal-Mart employees are walking out all over the country in huge numbers.
What is it?

I won't trust any source until either the source is Nadin or she verifies the other source. Or if truth(left)out sources it then I will know it's true as well.

They can't put anything on the Internet unless it's true.

No strikers at my Ohio store. Dumbasses.

5. Believe it or not both are correct
depends on the store. There are stores where many workers have walked out... (like the CNN ones that they went, NONE walked out of the job, what do you mean you are Walmart employees), and the one I just covered this afternoon, where Walmart would be correct.
Of course some of the off the record conversations with Walmart employees tell me the story, the fear of retaliation and losing their jobs is very, and I mean this VERY real.
Regardless, the people walking into the store to shop were not harassed, putting this out there just in case the media claims this and most were neutral to receptive and more than a few wore the tags given to them by the leaphleteers. Of course there were a few angry people screaming at the people giving them pieces of paper with information, but hey, you get those every time.
Sorry for muddying the waters. Also, I am not shocked Wally World just claimed the bestest ever Black Friday sale ever, like cross my heart and all that. If anybody is surprised by that, well. bridges and beach front properties come to mind. Part of the reason, has nothing to do with this action... but really, how empty the parking lot was. And I mean that, for a Black Friday, I took the trolley thinking parking will be an issue... nope, not in front of Target or Walmart, both were clear, and plenty of parking available. I still saved some money on gas though and it took me an hour to go and come back to the store (it goes in front of another mall), so maybe the afternoon they'll do better.
edit for some fun

3. I saw a vido that was called something like "1000 cities in 33 seconds"
And it looked like a lot of areas had a few, even like 3 or so, while others had close to a hundred or so. People are probably exaggerating on both sides, and also people might be making assumptions based on what they see in their particular areas.
Got that, 1000 cities in 33 seconds.

4. Walmart has no reason to tell the truth. "Outside agitators" is always a
dead giveaway, too. All the trouble in the world is due only to outside agitators.
Don't let it worry you. Golly geewhiz has alll the facts. :mental:

A picture is worth a thousand words.....so take a picture with the good rig Nadin and skip the thousand words .

Thank God, Skul she showed up so I can know know the truth.
Suffice it to say I always know she being a trained historian will never bullshit us. :rotf:

Did you learn that on the internet? And are you waiting for a French model?
-
Yup, was just waiting for Nads to give us the "crunchy" news.
I'm looking forward to the pic's she got with the "good rig".
Suffice it to say, it looks like Walmart 1, Union thugs 0. :lmao:

My guess is yes, and yes. :p

She said she was bringing a zoom lens also. I am sure she will post those pictures any time now.

Cool, we can see some up close and personal pictures of her thumb, a parking lot, and some random people, but my guess is there won't be one of Walmart workers walking off the job.
-

There's a built-in zoom on her little Olympus piece of shit.
Surely she won't expose The Good Rig to all the violence and mayhem going on with these massive WalMart demostrations.
Actually, she did decide this "assignment" warranted a zoom lens due to all the violence and bloodshed that's been going on in front of WalMart stores.
The crazy bald dwarf doesn't want to be nearby when the pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails start flying.

She would have brought her 10" combat knife, EMT kit, and IOTV if she thought that was gonna happen. :-)

Local news just did a story about a protest at an Orlando Wal-Mart. A bus pulled up an puked out some pukes. The store manager was there with a cop telling them to GTFO off the property. The reporter stuffed a Mic in his face and asked I'd he knew anyone in the crowd as his employees. He hopped up on his toes and scanned all around and said Nope not one of em. They went out front on the sidewalk where no one could throw them out. :-)

I saw some today...hordes of them...the noise, the solidarity, the demands...oh wait, those were the Salvation Army folks ringing their bells outside the door.
Nevermind.

Here we go. :rotf:

7. And this is why I did not take a photo, or time worked at Walmart, Be honest, you just plain didn't bother to go, did you.
or even the gender, of the employee I talked to. I just quoted "it" to protect the guilty. The level of intimidation is very real. :bs:
I just wished this person a good holiday season, this employee has already worked over sixteen hours and cannot wait to go home to get some rest as well. Make believe employee, no doubt.
This employee expects LESS hours in January to make up for this windfall.
Lies about going, and tries to convince primitives she's "protecting" the innocent. What a cupid stunt. :lmao:
You lie, gNads, you lie all the time.
-

I'm guessing if this is true, and odds are it isn't, that the mystery employee volunteered to pull a double and will be quite happy on payday.

More like this mystery employee is dreading when hours get cut back in January.
-
Liberals lie. All the time. Liberals lie.

LIE! Walmart won't work anyone (hourly anyway) more than 8 hours a day. Company policy. Takes an act of God and three managers to approve overtime, and then only by an hour or 2.

I have a friend who manages a store for an electronics chain. He just pulled a 25 hour shift with one extended break in the middle. He's grumpy and easily offended. LOL I'm sure come bonus time he'll be happier.
