And thousands of others will line up to take their jobs.

People need jobs, not unions. Suckers will lose their jobs.

Wal Mart closes their stores before they let them go union. Striking against Wal Mart is then a fool’s errand.

Hahahahahaha! [gasp] Hahahahahaha! [gasp] Guess what? They’ll have those openings filled so fast your head’ll spin. The DO keep applications for those who’ve applied in the past at every store, you morons!

Anybody who walks off the job should be terminated. Enough with this playing games crap with leftists.

Thanks I already filled on out a few weeks ago since I need to find a job. Hope they walk out so I can get even a part time I would be grateful. Being unemployed for now almost 1 year is not fun.

The shipyard where I work is under attack from unions because of a Government contract it seems set to get which will triple or more the production at the yard. The unions want a piece of that money. If they unionize the place or make a big enough fuss the owners will forgo that contract and move the whole operation to Guatemala.

Hope so. From the market, not the unions.

Probably not so many. A few will "walk off the job" who were about to quit anyway and a few more will think that employment nirvana is at hand and they will leave. A couple are just POed at their bosses and, not thinking past three minutes from now, will walk off. Service in the stores "affected" will not be noticeable disrupted.

Yep.

The unions are sending the lambs to slaughter.

If it’s like the LAST Walmart “walkoff Protest” in Indianapolis, no one will lose their job, because all of the protesters were bussed in by SEIU.

The announcement comes as Walmart has failed to meet a Labor Day deadline to reinstate illegally fired and disciplined workers

The unions are slow learners.

How do you move a shipyard overseas? Do they have the containers offloaded in SA and then shipped overland through Mexico?

Not doubting you, just wondering.

One of my sisters in Florida has been looking for work. While not in her field, she now has three part-time jobs. It's not what she wanted, but she is grateful.

It's tricky balancing the schedules, and she's never worked in retail previously, but she's happy to have the opportunity. I hope that Walmart does well.

The Unions will never stop acting like thugs and Bullies.
Why they can’t join businesses and show the businessmen better ways to run their operations is beyond me.sadly I think, they will never change.

Hell, I might take one of those jobs at Wal-Mart just to rub it in their faces. I don't need the extra job and I sure don't need the money but even working part-time, I bet I'll be a shift manager in six months.

Chances are however, Wal-Mart will just close the stores and leave them sitting on the streets. They are big enough to close a hundred stores if they have to and it won't even make a dent in their P&L.

If I were management I would let any Wal Mart associate know that if they take part in the walkout they need not return to work.

The group claimed that "thousands" would walk out.

Probably dozens, if they're lucky.
