Video: Who’s really protesting Walmart?

Tis the season, once again upon us, when an age old tradition returns to cities and towns across the nation. I don’t mean the usual Thanksgiving feasts of yesterday or even the commercial mayhem of Black Friday. We’re talking about the annual protests of Walmart by their beleaguered workers who want a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and, much more to the point, official union representation. The OurWalmart campaign was back at it as usual, preparing to disrupt holiday shopping plans for the masses who prepare to launch into the Christmas giving season. But who are these protesters, really? One might assume that they are stock clerks, register operators, greeters and the rest of the employees who keep the nation’s largest retailer open. But don’t bet on it. This undercover video reveals that the people manning the picket lines are something entirely different.

WHAT!? I'm sure you're just as shocked at I am to learn that a union would stoop to underhanded actions. So, the head cheeses (no offense to cheese) of the unions could further divvy up the dues and live high on the hog for a little more than $15/hr? Salary and stipends. Woo Hoo!

Won’t protest Wal-Mart but don’t go there unless there’s no alternative.

Why? Wal-Mart has always been a huge backer of the Clinton mafia.

In addition, Wal-Mart receives a large chunk of its revenues from welfare EBT cards (your tax dollars). As such, the company is pro-scamnesty. Crony capitalists that would file Chapter 11 tomorrow if its government-bestowed perqs were cut off.

I hope all the protesters are standing in the door-way when the doors are unlocked!

Unions are the building blocks of communism. They complain about “the rich” and then demand $60 - $80 (From an article here a couple days ago.) dollars an hour. Marxist college professors complain about “the rich” and then demand a six figure salary to “teach” one course. (Fauxchauntas).

Not to mention the uber rich celebrities that support these assclowns. Doesn’t seem like they get called out does it. I heard someplace that katy perry has already pulled in over a 150 million this year. Nobody bitchin’ about that.

That's okay, Wal*Mart is switching to online selling. An article in the WSJ showed that Wal*Mart's plans call for more 'productivity' per employee, and increased sales. If you do the math Wal*Mart intends to increase wages and decrease staff by 400,000 in the next five years. They will have fewer, but better paid employees. The question will be whether they will still serve the low income consumers ('market sector') who were Sam Walton's original target. Wal*Mart has increased the standard of living for millions of the poorest Americans, more than all of the self-serving union bosses and liberal arts faculties combined.

Liberals love to hate Wal-Mart because they can always extort something from them.

I talked to a liberal friend of mine the other night. He loves the Crystal Bridges Art museum in Arkansas but is conflicted because it’s funded by the Walton family and its in Arkansas. LOL Here’s the link. I’ve decided we have to go.

When they destroy WalMart, they'll claim they need higher taxes to support 'job training' programs for displaced unionists.

Maybe by then we'll be lucky enough to be dead.

$15.00 ?

I recently interviewed for a job for their management program and the hiring manager asked me point blank how much do I need to make an hour...

I said: Well, I can pretend to be a McDonald's employee and demand $15.00 an hour, but I'd be replaced by a kiosk"

He got a good chuckle out of that...

Yup...my libtard relatives who hate Wal-Mart, when they complain about them, I always point out Wal-Mart has saved Americans literally billions of dollars on food and consumer goods helping them financially...

" So you would prefer Americans be poorer because Wal-Mart isn't union run " ?

Shuts them up pretty quick...

You are most extraordinarily lucky in your choice of libtard relatives and friends.
