How typical.

[GeronL]

Is there anything in this article that is true?

[2ndDivisionVet]

There may be, but it’s above our pay grade to ferret it out, I’m sure. LOL

[HiJinx]

Consider the source. Reads a lot like the propoganda tripe from Pravda and Izvestia from 40 years ago...

If they want to share the Profit, invest in Walmart Stock.

Unless Walmart drags them to work in Chains, the Employees can still choose to work there or not.

What a load of crap and it came from Al Jezzara just to add insult to injury.

Oh my garsh

the comments at that site.... *shakes head*

[GeronL]

I tried to post coherently on the site.

I said something like:

Wal-Mart is not in crisis. Almost none of the picketers are Wal-Mart employees.

[GeronL]

It is propaganda, you can’t be that wrong by accident.

I think I’ve been transported back to Stalin’s Russia.

Note to algorezeera. STFU and go back to whence you came from.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is the kind of bull**** vomited to the public by Algore Jazeera. The Muslim Fag Channel.

[VideoDoctor]

This article is the HEIGHT of FABRICATION.

[GeronL]

my comments on the site are now moderated.

lol

No

I have an online “friend” who is a Wal-Mart employee. I've asked him about all this and he says it's nonsense. He is happy to work at Wal-Mart and says most of his co-workers are too. They understand some basic economics — how raising wages will cut jobs, for example. They really don't want to unionize and don't support these demands.

My “friend “ had to work on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. He said employers working on Thanksgiving were treated to Thanksgiving dinner. Employees could take home the leftovers, and this employee said he has enough for several more meals. He also told me that employees are getting a $400 holiday bonus. Sounds rather generous to me.

Considering that this is Al Gore's old network, is it any wonder it sounds Soviet?

Remember hillary ham hocks stated that if you want the truth you will get it at al jazzerah. Anything that reeks of success is capitolistic and evil! sarc

Walmart, the United States' largest private employer with 1.3 million workers, is in major crisis mode.

This statement is an unsupported assertion. Perhaps the writer would like for you to believe that Walmart is in a major crisis mode. They are NOT.

There are thousands of people who would like to have a job at Walmart. The wage the propagandist specified is wrong, as are many other alleged "facts" in the article.

The article should have a barf bag warning!
