itsrobert (8,858 posts) 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?

(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.

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.

You just had to bring that up, didn't you?
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.
They can't put anything on the Internet unless it's true.
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.
She said she was bringing a zoom lens also. I am sure she will post those pictures any time now.
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.

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. 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.
