By all means let's hit our employer on the day they go the furthest to hit their revenue numbers. That will show them!
Only a union idiot could come up with that reasoning. Some day someone will RICO their azz. For that's what it is.

Union or not, retailers don’t need to treat their workers this way.

I hope the jerks who do walk out don’t need a doctor, a fireman, a restaurant worker, a convenience store clerk, etc. on their “day off”.

...we should start calling the protesting workers "TWINKIES"...maybe they'd get the message.

Wal-Mart.....shut the friggin store down for good!
You will not know the difference, a pain in the ass will be removed, and it WILL send a message to the disgruntled workers that they better have a real grievance before striking...

I’m sure sales and paychecks will still be made when workers arrive at 6 am instead of midnight on thanksgiving evening. Some services and businesses require it for the good of society, but a typical retailer...nope.

Knowing my sister, she’s probably grabbing all the overtime she can. I know that’s what I always did when I was still at the factory.

retailers dont need to treat their workers this way.What way? Requiring that they work on holidays? Try working in a kitchen. Every single holiday is a big day and everyone gets to work.
Cry me a river. If I'm getting paid, I'll work the days my employer requires or I'll go elsewhere.

Yea, I’d be doing the same thing frankly. I miss hourly for that reason alone, at least in the day it was worth double time on holidays...don’t know if businesses still do that or not.
