(NATIONAL) -- It is called “Black Friday,” the day after Thanksgiving and it is one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

But labor organizers are hoping this year’s Black Friday is very different for Walmart stores across the country.

They’re planning a nationwide strike that day against the world’s largest retailer and they are using the Internet to organize n a “viral” manner.

It will be dangerous if they do this. Black Friday is crazy anyhow. People will just kick in the doors and raid the store if there are no workers. Chaos, mass chaos and I think that’s what the union wants. The unions really must be stopped.

Here’s hoping all the participants in this gag lose their jobs, and get replaced by people who appreciate being employed.

I say go for it. When the one percenters are enjoying their holidays the peons get stuck working. They have nobody to turn to so they vote Democrat. Thanksgiving is one holiday where family life should be respected.

Why would there be no workers at Walmart? Walmart is not union. That is why union organizers are calling for a boycott of Walmart.

I will definitely be at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Anything I can do to put union goons out of business, I’m there. I can think of approx. $100. worth of stuff I need that I can buy at Wally World just as easily as anywhere else. This union crap merely makes the decision FOR me.

It's not that simple. The Walton family gave millions to Obama in return for Obama signing a waiver exempting Walmart from Obamacare. The unions wanted to be the only ones exempted and are pissed. I say let all of them rot.

I never go shopping after Thanksgiving. I guess it’s never too late. I’ll go to WalMart and buy something.

The local Wal-mart is where the white trash take their kids to discipline them. I don’t shop there. The union thing isn’t enough to make me change my mind.

Probably none.... another waste of union dues. I hope they keep it up.

OMG I worked for 25 years for Walgreens we were open 365 days a year I worked many holidays ...... I am sorry they are a bunch of babies hundreds of thousands of people out of work and these cry babies are complaining. Cops, Firemen, Nurses, Doctors, Pilots, Flight attendants, movie places and the list goes on of people who work holidays. The union thugs need to mind their own business. Walmart has the right to run their business as they see fit I am really sick of cry babies.

Me too! I normally stay home on Black Friday because of the crowds. If Barry Benghazi’s commies and Nazis can pull this off, I will be at Walmart bright and early Black Friday morning.

No, that was just one son. The rest of the family supported Romney.
