Replace the workers. There are plenty of unemployed who will take their jobs. Screw the unions.
I say let their employees walk out. Who's going to notice? It's not like any of them actually help customers anyway.
Pacifying and buying fascists is a full time battle that you never win.
Like other people we are in BLOAT mode. Went to Walmart to add to the stores, and the shelves were basically empty. Most common calibers and gauges were all sold out. Anything in 12 gauge (except no. 8), 5.56mm, 9mm, 22 were all gone. Left were a few boxes of 44, 32 and one box of 45.
I asked the salesperson when he expected to reorder, and he stated after Christmas, if then. Sheesh.
5.56mm
They had several "man on the street" customers that kept saying, "The employees should be able to spend Thanksgiving with their families" and "I agree with the workers. They need to spend the day (Thanksgiving) with their families. Never did the reporter mention the walk out wasn't over working on Thanksgiving but on Black Friday.
There was one guy (hispanic!) that actually said the day is for giving thanks and the employees should be thankful they have a job as many don't!
My opinion? If they don't like the work hours, find another job. No one is forcing you to work there. My son (many years ago when he was in high school) had to work on Thanksgiving at McDonalds. It was just part of his job.
These "Santa Clause" voters need to grow up!
Am I the only one who thinks that Walmart, and all the other stores, are destroying Thanksgiving? All of these retail workers are taken away from their families to work through the night for Black Friday. FedEx has ads for Christmas delivery now. All their drivers and package handlers are going to have to work on Christmas morning so people can get their late-mailed trinkets.
Sunday shopping was bad enough but this stuff is getting out of hand.
In a free society,the consumer is king. Greed and selfishness of business owners operate through the profit motive,the uniformity of profit principle, and the price system to drive businesses to try to please the consumers.Businessmen try to anticipate any shifts in consumer demand ahead of their rivals. If they are wrong, and if the consumers fail to make Greed Thursday profitable, then businesses would stop doing it. An assault by unions against working on Greed Thursday is an assault on the power of consumers in a free market.
