40 hr work week is going away. Long a leftwing dream, I think the workers would prefer the money, but the Left wants them to have time on their hands so that they can engage in political rabble-rousing.
The people in that photo need to look past Wal*Mart and protest the reason Wal*Mart is doing this.
For every person in that picture who may go on strike, there are 200 people willing to take their place in the workforce.
The protesters better be careful what they wish for.
Obamacare may eventually turn nice girls into whores and guys into pimps.
Lots of whores and pimps in the central socialist government.
Wonder how many of the people in this photo voted for Obama.
THAT was the PLAN all along!! Get the workers riled up and HATING the management.......COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!
Collectivists have long agitated for labor laws that forced employers to have a shorter work week and more fringe benefits. Obama was one with them on this goal. Yet, the end result of his reaching for another collectivist goal of universal health care will result in massive numbers of lower-value positions being turned into part-time, with zero benefits.
Those working in these jobs will have to get multiple part time jobs and they will not qualify for employer group health plans at any employer, so their health insurance premiums will be higher. They will work more than 40 hours a week, maybe even 6 or 7 days a week, and their quality of life will drop. They will not be in jobs that can have overtime, so their net annual wages will not be higher, and maybe substantially lower.
Glad you voted for Hope and Change now? (Yet how many will still support Democrats and their tooth and claw efforts to retain and expand collectivist policies?)
When the SF NFL team moves to their new stadium next year, they are going to be called the 29ers.
lol.
Nobody forces those protesters to work at Wal-Mart or to work for those wages. They are free to look for higher paying jobs, we have no caste system here.
These protesters are all paid fir by an organization that calls itself “Our Walmart”. Walmart actually won a court order against them.
It’s certainly not only WalMart. It’s MacDonalds. It’s Wendy’s. It’s K Mart. It’s your local grocery. It’s where you park your car. Zero has made the 40 hour week impossible for most all who chose not to get a good education hence a good job.
