The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Bargain hunters heading to Walmart, in addition to looking for holiday deals, may find workers participating in Black Friday Strikes.
Since 2012, Our Walmart, which is an employee labor group, has been staging strikes on the day after Thanksgiving.

A Communist front group.
Probably a group trying to get a vote.
2014 version of a mob
Unions,are struggling with states changing to right to work laws. Membership greatly declining means less revenue, less political power, and increased insignificance.
Local Walmart was jammed with shoppers, and no union goons in sight.
They can come full circle, and loot themselves.
This 2 min. youtube video is profound.
It compares the behavior of Black Friday shoppers from 1983 to today.
Imagine what life will be like in thirty years, God help us.
Black Friday 1983 vs. Today

These people should go out and start their own stores
Saw every kind and color of shopper in our Walmart today when I picked up a prescription. If anyone was boycotting, no one noticed.
They would, I am sure the union wage is “tied” to MW.
Everyone else gets screwed.
Labor Unions have become criminal enterprises dedicated to extorting money from earners and businesses.
They are parasitic organisms searching for juicy targets where they can attach themselves and suck out the lifeblood.

I wrote most of my MBA papers on Wal-Mart. This is from memory. Wal-Mart publishes all of their data. In 2005 the average worker started at age 44 and this was their first job. They typically came off welfare. They worked, on average, one year and then quit. The turnover was something like 200k employees per year. This means that Wal-Mart was the jobs training program for the entire country. Before the present outsourced era anybody could get an entry level job in one of the five million or so manufacturing companies that are now gone. You’d work your way up. Since those companies are gone Wal-Mart and to a lesser degree McDonald’s and similar restaurants train our work force for other employment. If those places started paying “a living wage” for entry level work then those employees would not move on to other jobs.
Certainly, our schools don’t train anybody for anything other than gender awareness.

Yes. Yes they are. Especially in Wisconsin.
HOWEVER - Milwaukeestan has a 32% unemployment rate for black males, 18-34 years old. What an amazing pool of future Unionistas that would be!
However, the Unions won’t touch them, or put any money into training them to even be Day Laborers. A good friend has been in Unions for 30+ years. I asked him about this.
He says they don’t show up for work.
Now, ‘splain this to me: available, strong, healthy black males, available to work, yet they won’t? Hmmmm. Which Political Party, which they continue to blindly vote for, trained them in this manner?
The only union membership rolls that are growing, and growing almost exponentially, are the GOVERNMENT Unions. The danger there is palpable. They will NEVER vote to reduce the size and scope of government. Several Chinese dynasties were brought down because of overloaded bureaucracies.
“The only union membership rolls that are growing, and growing almost exponentially, are the GOVERNMENT Unions. The danger there is palpable. “
Indeed. We have government union goons writing and enforcing illegal dictates that they write. Only Congress may write law, but who’s paying attention? One of the chief features of both communist and fascist dictatorships is unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats writing law.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. - Thomas Jefferson
And you’re right. These bureaucratic dynasties will be brought down by whatever means necessary.
These people are beyond stuck on stupid. They are creating a new frontier.
NPR will hype any liberal, union or moonbat cause. Free PR on the tax payer dime.
I’m a proud member. Everyone I see I owe.
unions want to organize walley world.
If a store unionizes walley world simply closes it down.
