Show pictures from any stores Black Friday sales and I guarantee they all look the same. I remember the same crap at Kmarts and other retailers before Wal-Mart ever came to SoCal, the thing that is common to all of them...............people.

Officials in the five cities where Wal-Mart closed stores claim the company hasn't sought permits for plumbing work, according to ABC News. Additionally, a Wal-Mart plumbing technician who worked at the now shuttered store in Brandon, Florida, told WFLA that even if the store is replacing its entire sewage line, the work shouldn't take as long as six months. The UFCW a labor group representing Wal-Mart's laid off workers claims the company closed the stores in retaliation against workers organizing for better pay, which is something that Wal-Mart has been found guilty of doing in Canada. I had no idea that Wal-Mart had union employees.

Let's give some corrections here. Every employee is still an employee of Walmart. They will receive the normal paychecks they would earn (averaged over 3 months) for the next two months. During that time, no employee is required to even show up somewhere to sign in. During those two months, they are welcome and encouraged to apply at another store.
If, at the end of two months, if they still have not been accepted at another store, then severance will take place, and each employee will receive one month of severance salary.
So, yeah, if Walmart was out to punish anyone, they pick a strange way to do it. It is as Walmart has stated; there are some serious plumbing issues in certain buildings built by a particular contractor and those stores need serious work to bring them up to local (and national) health code and quality. These are from shortcuts taken by the contractor in not putting in the right traps they should have done.
So every time you see someone whining on the news about this, please remember that they are earning just as much as they were when they worked at Walmart, they just don't have to do anything about it now.

According to one popular theory, the military will use the shuttered Wal-Mart stores as "processing" facilities for Americans once martial law is hatched. There are some real loonies out amongst us, including those who visit this forum.

If these were used as detention facilities as suggested, they would really have plumbing problems. There is no way the toilet facilities would be adequate.

“The closures have also fueled conspiracy theories that the US military is planning to enact martial law this summer under the guise of a Special Operations exercise called Jade Helm 15.
Hilarious, close a Walmart in Pico Rivera CA to open a processing facility when 20 miles to the east you have millions of sq feet of distribution buildings empty with no tendants.

I had no idea that Wal-Mart had union employees. It doesn't.
The union claims to represent the newly-fired workers.

I heard Eric Holder is filing suit to stop this. Then President Obama will sign an executive order preventing any store from doing something similar.
