I pass a nearby Walmarts here today and the parking lot was full, of customers cars.

There were no Wal-Mart strikes.
Most of these “strikes” were fake, pure astro-turf with union-paid picketers who did not work at the places they were “protesting”

One definite result is that people who had otherwise decent jobs with a regular paycheck are now losing them....
(a) Technology is on the verge of replacing them as revealed in a new machine that can do the entire job of a kitchen crew to prepare a gourmet hamburger....
and
(b) businesses (that were damaged because of such "strikes") are "rethinking" their business model, closing, firing all the employees, and are not planning on rehiring (if they reopen)...
well-done rabble rousers

I doubt that even 1% of the protestors were actually employed by the places they were protesting.
Astroturfing.

“Fight For $15!” is the Dems ‘Big Hammer’ for the 2014 elections.
SEIU/OFA have set up HUNDREDS of these roach-like groups to pimp this meme for the election.
