"We're here not to bash Walmart, but to make Walmart a better place to work," said Jerry Synowicz

Well, Jerry, if you left here and never came back, I think you would accomplish that goal ...

So they are protesting raises of a mere 30 t0 40 cents per hour a year? Have these people ever paid any attention to the incredibly puny raises union members get after long strikes? I’m talking 5 to 10 cents per hour! They want better health insurance? Don’t they like Obamacare either?
Anyone contemplating union me,bership needs to check out that union’s history and pay attention to what the union does, not what they say.

There should be at least 100 people ready to take this genius’s job. He should be thankful that he has one in the Obama Depression.

Other than a handful, it isn’t the Wal Mart workers protesting. It is the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW)which has been trying to organize Wal Mart employees without success for a couple of decades. You can go to their Web Site and see the anti-Wal Mart postings. I laugh when I hear them talk about the need for better wages and benefits at Wal Mart when many employees organized under the UFCW do far worse than Wal Mart employees. The hard truth is the Leaders of the UFCW see Wal Mart as a potential Gold mine of new dues much of which will line the elected leaders pockets. Thatis what this is and always has been about.

Only government unions are keeping their jobs, and even those are going to be disappearing as states, counties and cities tighten their budgets.

This is not a good time for an employee to be walking off the job. But it does tighten up the intellectual gene pool.

What a noble goal... I'm sure Walmart will reward your efforts, tool.

One worker walked off the job at H&H Bagels over his right to celebrate Festivus.

Walmart has a high turnover rate anyways:
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/employee-turnover-grocery-15810.html

These ‘workers’ just pulled a “quit with a cause” instead of the usual ‘quit’. If this union-thing wasn’t going on they most likely wouldn’t have bothered to show up for work after Thanksgiving.

Plus the usual ‘union-goons’ newly hired to ‘quit with a cause’

Major Breaking Story on channel 4
“Walmart employee quits”

Real slow news day in Milwaukee. and a chance to bash Walmart. That is almost as good as bashing Scott Walker.

This idiot moron is angling to improve on 30 to 40 cents an hour after a year raise... for doing the same old thing, what a maroon.

The American Way is to do a BANG-UP job, whatever it is, to 100+% of your ability, and then, WITHOUT ANY RAISE WHATSOEVER, with high productivity and showing imagination and innovation in his current job duties, would then be PROMOTED to some job that would CATAPULT his wage UP MUCH higher than any raise could EVER do.

[works for govt workers - they must have at least 4 different ways to get more money, with COLA, merit increase, bonus, step increase, etc]

"We want a fair wage for a good days work. We're not asking for a lot. People start at barely over minimum wage, and only go up 30 to 40 cents per year."

He cited what protesters said were needs for both better pay and better health care coverage.

Economic ignorance on display. If you don't like working for minimum wage, go get a job that pays $100,000 a year. But wait.....you have no skills worth that kind of money to anyone. Life's a bitch. And another thing, you decide what's a fair wage for a days work. If you don't think it's fair, go work somewhere else for more money. Damn, we're back to that no marketable skills thing. An Obama voter for sure.
