Fire them all and there will be a thousand people standing in line to take each job.
You never hear about unionized fatsos complaining about unfair salaries of their bossesssss!!!

“We want a fair wage for a good days work. We’re not asking for a lot. People start at barely over minimum wage, and only go up 30 to 40 cents per year.”
...here’s my request/ Take a course in economics you stupid ass! Define “fair wage”. $10? $20? $100 per hour?
With 16% real unemployment it shouldn’t be hard to get replacement workers.
HAHAHAHA! Quote of the day..
This whole thing is a UNION CREATED NONSENSE!
Kmart opened its doors at 6AM on THANSKGIVING.. no one mentioned that....
I used to shop on thanksgiving morning for years, a regional store called AMES used to have its thanksgiving madness sale and opened on thanksgiving morning and was open all day with its “black friday” deals... my routine back then was go to AIMES do my shopping then from there go to my mothers for Thanksgiving Dinner.
This whole thing is NONSENSE, and just the unions trying to create a backlash where none existed.
Of course they are, if WalMart treated their employees as badly as the Unions claim do you think they would be as big as they are?
Employers can only get away with so much, yes, when the economy is bad they can get away with more than when it is good, but even there there is only so much they can do.
It is not in a companies best interest long term to treat employees like crap. Usually when you find stories of employees truly being abused especially in a large organization, its usually (not always, but far more often than not) a rogue manager than a systemic problem or policy.
just waiting for Obama and the Dems to get involved ,they hate Walmart
I have a stepson who had to work at Home Depot for awhile. He says that the attendents who work in the aisles would actually hide from cutomers so that they would not have to ‘work’. I assume that Wal-Mart workers do much of the same.
Danny H is on the picket line?
I'm betting he was a temporary hire for the Christmas rush and last night was the first night he was supposed to work.
Are they brain surgeons? No. They're unskilled labor and as such should be started at minimum wage. That Walmart starts them above minimum should be considered a good thing.
In CAL “we” passed a bill in the state legislature to unionize home care workers and included family members who care for others in the family.
I am proposing to be the union czar for gardeners and babysitters for just a small annual salary of $250,000.
Once Walmart goes down, the rest of the employers in the country will follow in short order.
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, Trumka and his fellow travelers 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.
Soon, all the workers in the entire country will be paying into the Democrat campaign-finance slush fund through forced union membership and forced union dues.
Labor unions are America's Communist Party.
**** We’re not asking for a lot. People start at barely over minimum wage, and only go up 30 to 40 cents per year.”***
And what is wrong with starting at minimum wage? When Walmart started, the “CHICKEN MEN” had this area in an economic stranglehold which paid starvation agriculture wages well below minimum wage. Walmart gave many the first taste of what a decent pay was.
Like so many now, kids leave high school and think they are management material with no work experience.
The problem is in the Baraqqi economy, where only fast food and retail jobs are available, the idiots somehow think these should provide a “living wage” for a family.
that 30 or 40 cents per year is better than nothing in this economy.
