“living wage”: Language right out of the union handbook. WalMart is not hiring in most markets. They are doing what any company who is gonna survive the current Depression is doing: More with less. You ever run a business (a successful one)? Please provide proof that Walmart is making someone work a 16 hour shift. You can’t, because their scheduling computer will not allow them to schedule anyone for more than a standard pre-scheduled shift.
You sound like an idealistic little progressive union organizer attacking the evil corporation.

move to where the jobs are - - - that sounds just as cold and callous as saying 'get educated and get a better job.'

as in? I never claimed a 16 hour shift. I stated that stockers were working 8 hours, 10 hours off, and the back for 12 hours. A CSM is scheduled 8 hours, 7 hours off, and then back for another 8 hour shift. I doubt if the managers will be going home at all on what is suppose to be a holiday.

Thankfully, we still have enough free speech to ask a company to treat thier employees better. And you have the right to call us names for pointing this out.
