WORKERS TO STAGE WALK OUTS AT WALMART STORES ON BLACK FRIDAY

By Nadin Abbott

November 20, 2012 (San Diego)—Across the nation and in San Diego County, Walmart workers are poised to stage a walk out on Friday, traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year.

This Thanksgiving, Walmart workers at more than 1,000 locations are seeking a seat at the bargaining table.

“Unless Walmart takes immediate steps to improve basic working conditions, workers throughout the company's vast operations — from factories and warehouses to retail stores — will participate in a massive walkout on Friday, November 23," states an e-mail sent by Color of Change.

The reasons are many, but lifting workers out of poverty is a key factor. Wages reportedly averaging $8.81/hour add up to just $15,576/year for a full-time employee.

Nothing more to say...

I'll be there too.....shopping.

Wouldn't that be a blast if that went across the nation. That gives The employees the power.

Come next week, I think that there will be plenty of job openings at Walmart.

My area isn't on the list but I'm not a Black Friday shopper.

Thanks. Now I know which one to go to.

Yes, prepared for violence honestly. <----That right there is some literary greatness. No one can paint a picture with the written word like nads.

The demonrat national holiday of Hatesgiving is approaching. The wascally Wepublicans constantly try take over and pervert the holiday by calling it Thanksgiving. As a trained historian I will not be fooled. Even today the wascally Wepublicans are dishonestly preparing for violence while the wonderfully wonderful demonrats prepare for violence honestly.

I had to search for a Walmart that had a planned protest. I found one using the link from the DUmp thread. It's a little out of the way, but I'll be there.

Just a warning to lurking DUmbasses, I'm armed every place I go. Friday will be be exception.

Stupid gNads doesn't understand that the employees are non-union.
A certaim union is trying to get employees to walk out.
There will no doubt be a few that just can't resist pulling a Hostess.
Nooowwww, what will happen to those that choose to participate?
I suspect there are many people that would gladly step in to fill the new vacancies.

Well, this Walmart associate is NOT walking out!!! This Walmrt employee is happy where she is, and makes the most of it, and gives each day her best. The Obamatard at work was complaining that Walmart's CEO makes $4000 a pay period. The Ceo probably has a college degree in Retail, business, marketing etc. The CEO has to answer to the bitch and gripes of consumers and associates. Unless you are a Asst manager up, ypou don't need a college degree, the job isn't rocket science. Three weeks before Christmas, or really anytime, is a bad way to start off the Holidays, dipshits!!!

Other reasons too, but, that part will certainly PO the DUmmies.

No WalMart employee will walk out.

A tiny, tiny handful of former employees may. They'll become former employees the minute they go out the door.

I could only find about 20 locations that were slated for any action.
This will not end well for the great gNads.

17. Word is getting out - my conservative friend surprised the heck out of me

She said she no longer shops at WalMart because of their polices and practices. I was dumbfounded - she is very conservative. Wow! Even an elderly RW relative of mine looked around at everything made in China, and rarely shops there now.

They're definitely getting bad press.

The phrase "I hate WalMart" is becoming more common.

A couple other things come to mind. Not a hundred percent sure, just pretty darn sure.
If the rabble set foot on the property, and are unwanted, it's considered trespass even if they use the "organizing" excuse.
Yewnyuns can not organize on company time and disrupt business.
Any employee that engages in that action, is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
Most of the rabble outside the store, are most likely not employees, just rabble.
The excuses for failure will be funny.

One more look at gNads BS statement.

Because the lack of credentials would prevent her getting to close, and subject to arrest.

Might have to start calling her The Spider. She can spin a line of BS, with the best of them.
