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.

Having only done so once before in lo these many moons, I'll be at Wally's Thursday night for an outstanding deal on a couple 1Tb hard drives.

Actually, Target is the store that will be opening on Thanksgiving evening.

Any farm with animals to tend runs 365 days a year too.

That’s even worse-—Why is he playing both sides against the middle?

I’m not going to Wal-Mart—They gave an Obama super-PAC $1 million.

An economic battlefield is emerging across America more deadly than even an undersea stalking of Russian subs by ours in the Cold War.

If a company supported Obama its got major negative points, if its union more so. Walmart may have paid its bribe money to opt out of Obamacare just the same as mob thugs out for the weekly protection money.

I think I will hit my Walmart this morning and grab about as much as I can carry of any twinkies they have left, not that I eat tyem but some people will pay more to get them soon.

Does this mean that Teamsters won’t deliver to Walmart? If that’s one of the boycotting groups, then it will create a problem. If there’s no stuff to sell... not good.

“My Kroger doesn’t allow more than two standing in line to check out.”

Kroger’s donated massive amounts to Obama, and supported him in every way — including ordering employees to vote for him.

WalMart is matching Target and beginning their sales on Thursday/Thanksgiving night. I WISH it were Black FRIDAY.

I work at Walmart and, for the most part, like the work. Sure the pay is lousy but the work is easy. Now if I wanted to make more money, I would need to get a real job where they expect me to do REAL work..... The people in the video sound a lot like my co-workers, who get paid what they are worth. P.S. Every workplace has problems.

I have a niece that works there that said the same thing you did. She’s been there for years and has not bothered looking for another job.

From what I can see, they are at least, quite an EOE - I see old ones, young ones, fat ones and skinny ones of all “sexual orientations” (I think) and all races of people. There are those that are beautiful working there and some - not so much. I’ve seen kids with over-sized piercings, lots of tattoos and purple hair working there, too.

These libs should be GLAD WM exists to give their friends jobs.
