Wal-Mart workers plan Black Friday walkout
    #17230837 -

Any members work there? Any full time with benefits? Anyone taking off Next Friday? 
Quote:
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 (WMT, Fortune 500) in Los Angeles and spread to stores in 12 other cities. More than 100 workers joined in the October actions... The union-backed groups OUR Walmart and Making Change at Wal-Mart, and a watchdog group Corporate Action Network, are calling on the nation's largest employer to end what they call retaliation against employees who speak out for better pay, fair schedules and affordable health care...

I worked at Target for a few years and got to experience first hand the way in which people turn into absolute MONSTERS on this day to get what they want. I saw a poor old woman basically get pinned against a wall so that some douche bags could shuffle through what little walkable space there was and get their hands on a stupid TV. Sickening.

I work at a craft store and am already feeling the Christmas spirit. Stuck up bitches that are entitled to everything.

Also can't understand why we're only open half the day on thanksgiving. Not open to early afternoon mind you, which would allow us to have time with families. No, we're only open from 4pm til 11, the main time of day where one might want to relax and be thankful for whatever.

Guess who gets to go back in 8 hours later to deal with more stupid bitches at 7am?

Nevermind the fact if you miss work you're automatically fired and you can only save up enough money for abortions.

wal-mart is not union, so if I were a CEO I wouldn't worry about some strike on Black Friday.  If they strike I'd terminate there ungrateful butts.  Don't apply for the job next time chump.  Just in case I'd employ more store cashiers/stockers on Black Friday.:stoned:

Mentally ill folks you say?

:snoop:

I'll take their job. I applied for Wal Mart before I decided to move, and they said "Sorry, we aren't hiring right now for cashiers."

I'll wait for black friday. Your jobs are mine bitches! Go ahead and walk out! GO!

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not... (Damn you internet!)

But in my area, I'd love to work at wal mart. For real.
New York minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. The Wal Mart in my area, and the one I'm moving to starts at 9$ an hour.

My wife has been a supervisor for 2 years at her (Now old) job, and only made 8.25$ an hour.

Part time here is about 30 hours. (Which is 940$ after taxes)

Rent for a 2 bedroom (a nice one) is about 600$ if we both made 940$ that's 1880$ a month. In this part of New York, we'd be living very nicely.

(that's actually more than we bring home now, and we are still doing alright.)

I remember reading somewhere that bill gates sighted McDonald's as the best job opportunity for uneducated americans due to the intense turn over and opportunities they provide its not hard to conceive becoming a manager within a few years if your willing to move.

Walmart isn't a bad place to work where the recession hit hard, because there all corporate so they can loose money at a few stores for a while, while all competition shuts there doors.

any job is better than no job.
