NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -

A group of Wal-Mart workers are planning to stage a walkout next week on Black Friday, arguably the biggest holiday shopping day for the world's largest retail store.

The walkout builds on an October strike that started at a Wal-Mart in Los Angeles and spread to stores in 12 other cities. More than 100 workers joined in the October actions.

One of the workers who plans to join next week's walkout is William Fletcher, who works at a Wal-Mart in Duarte, Calif.

Not to worry.

Obama is giving SEIU and company card check for Christmas.

We'll all be paying dues to the Democrat money-laundering union slush-fund by next Christmas.

yea, I do get that and am baffled that Walton (family) would support obama.
It makes zero sense.

That guy apparently is not running the company, I heard

re: “Those of you who hate capitalism and business can’t comprehend the greatness of such a business entity.”

I totally support capitalism and business, but I don’t support businesses that give millions to the enemies of capitalism and business, like Obama. Sam Walton did not support democrats, but his son sure does.

Maybe be an Alinsky rule. Blame the evil corporation thing.

I actually lasted 9 months working at Walmart. I made $9 an hour. I asked for a raise, to $27 an hour, because I was doing three people's worth of work.

Instead, I got this:
Mr. Smiley is holding up the wrong finger.

are they trying to unionize??

My sister works for Walmart on Vancouver Island Canada and the employees are against all attempts by the unions.

doe that SW Jr have any stake in the company at all?

For the same reason shopowners in Sicily pay tribute to the Mob.....

After Sam Walton Jr. backs Obama, I don’t care if they all die a quick and easy chapter 11. I shop elsewhere...

Roger that. Actions have consequences. I won't traffic with Quislings or Vichy Republicans.

Walk out on black Friday? Sounds like they would lose a lot of money made off of cheap Chinese crap. Oddly enough I support it.

Good luck with that AFL-CIO;)

re: “That guy apparently is not running the company, I heard.”

Honestly, I don’t know the answer to that, but I would assume that Junior gets his money from Wal-Mart.

FU Sam Walton Jr. ($300K donation to Obama SuperPAC)

Perfect example #50,987 of why we need DEATH TAXES for the super rich.

Idle wealth in the form of billions bequeathed to loser, undeserving children has pushed this country further to the left than any other force (Ford Foundation, Hewlett, Johnson, ad nauseum).

How does quitting their jobs do anything

Because unskilled (and largely illiterate) workers are in such short supply these days.

And don't you dare take that seriously.

I am the biggest supporter of the free market, free enterprise and capitalism at FreeRepublic. I hope that my sarcasm does not ALWAYS need a neon sign. Sarcasm is best served subtly.

Well if you need a job and live near any of the stores, I suggest arrive on Black Friday and you just might get a job!

[fhayek]

Hey, BfloGuy! You watching the game tonight?

If you believe this, then you are so far from the founders of the United States that you are lying with communists and other statist redistributionists. Start getting educated about what freedom means. It doesn't mean to screw over those financially or otherwise that don't go along with your plan for society. Of course, the "terrorist" part of your name gives you away.
