I’m not sure the idiots even know why they’re protesting. I’m no fan of WalMart but I just shop somewhere else and let them do business as they please.

In two locations I have seen Walmart fire it’s white workers and hire hispanics. Nospeakaenglish supervisors and employees. They also went left in supporting leftist causes in an effort to call off the unions who have been harassing them.

Oh well. Making deals with the devil.

The Black Friday Walmart walkouts are being orchestrated straight out of the White Hut. You can take that to the bank.

Unions = Marxism, and Ubama wants all American workers in unions.

Ubama is going to give the unions card-check, and the NLRB is going to force all employers to turn over the names and addresses of all their employees to the unions.

With these two tools, they can forge the signatures of employees and unionize any company without the consent of the employer or employees.

And their first target is going to be Walmart and the hundreds of millions of dollars of union dues they will be able to extort for the Democrat campaign-finance slush fund.

Once Walmart goes down, the rest of the employers in the country will be unionized in short order.

Union goons are Marxists without the integrity to admit what they are.

Good! And I'll visit several in my region just to thumb my nose at the national collective of ingrates trying to impose their collective values on our system of individual aspirations and achievement!!!

Their corrupt attemt to usurp the power from the "makers" to squander on the "takers" must be defeated whatever the price!!!

Please take time out from your Wal Mart shopping on Friday to request an application for employment with the company. It would be great if you filled it out and sent it in.

Big enough numbers might make the news and wake Wal Mart employees up to the fact they should be counting their blessings.

Soon enough they will be facing cuts in hours and layoffs because keeping prices low will require it because of ObumbleCare.

Unions were once a necessary evil but now they have simply become blackmailers. There’s no one left to do battle with the Social-lusts but the number of Americans that see what’s happening to this country. Over abundant union benefits and demands come at the expense of everyone. Help free enterprise and Wal Mart. Apply for one of those unappreciated and undervalued jobs!

Any other than anecdotal data to back up/explain this? What locations?

Not trying to nay say you - truly interested because I use W-Mart a lot and if it is really getting that bad I have other options.

Did they actually fire the other workers or did they transfer them to stores where English would be the primary language spoken? Seems to me Walmart's trying to make a buck. If the clientele is primarily Spanish speaking, it makes sense that many of the employees would be as well.

Sorry, I meant to ping you to number 12.

I'm no huge fan of Walmart. Except a few very specific packaged food items, we actually buy very little from there. However, I get suspicious when I hear claims like they "fired the white workers."

I don't know - SaraJohnson originated the thread I responded to and may not have any real info. As you indicate, it makes no sense to fire English speakers in favor of Mexicans without a reason - they have to pay comparable wages/benefits (and they would have their fannies sued off if they did as what was claimed) so if anything like it occurs, it must have some sound business rationale.

You can be suspicious if you want.

One month there were white ladies among others working the cash registers and then there were only hispanics. There was a white male manager, then there was a hispanic male store manager. I think they were hiring illegals. It happened at two stores.

You make a claim, but don't post any evidence to support your claim. "Which stores", would be my first question. My next question is "why" you would post these claims?

I'm not saying I don't believe the claim, but... I don't believe that facts would support it! WalMart would have too much to lose to hire illegals! AND, WalMart would be foolish to take such actions. They didn't get to their size by screwing their customers, no matter how many union supporters make spurious claims! This sounds like one, though I am surprised to hear it from you...

Just asking for the facts, Maam!
