I don't think so. Looks like a few disgruntled clowns making a lot of noise. We shall see.
Fine. there are a lot of folks looking for a good entry-level job.
I’m sure that WalMart has lots of people that will be more than happy to fill in for the strikers, permanently.
Love it. I am moving out of the land of lincoln. I can get a Wal-mart job until I can find something better!
Course, should be able to find a job at mickeyd’s also.
In fact, I can probably find two part time jobs.
things are looking pretty good!
The average wage for a full-time hourly employee at Wal-Mart is $12.57 an hour.
I hope they get themselves fired.
Folks, if you don't show up for work and don't have an acceptable excuse, you are going to be fired. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
I wouldn’t be so sure it’s a small strike. This will have union organizing skill and funds behind it.
I also hope it gets laughed outta town. These bozos have no understanding of economics.
Today, Walmart should have had its workers put up “Help Wanted” and “Now Hiring” signs.
Tomorrow, for everyone who strikes, fire them, and blacklist them so another Walmart cannot ever hire them.
Bump for later.
I’d be willing to bet, most will be purple people beaters disguised as Wal-Mart workers.
SEIU, one of the most insipid unions. I guess if your IQ is that low you have to have a union to keep a job.
I doubt thousands are planning this. I know many friends that work at WalMart and are happy with thier wages. They have worked there for years and been given good raises. Some are managers now. Wal Mart is not a perfect place to work but it is better than most. If someone doesn’t like it, get a degree and move along.
Bosh. I’ll bet you anything my local Walmart will be fully staffed with the usual people when I go (as I do nearly every day ;-).
Good luck with that..............
More like more union Astro Turf bussed in pretending to be employees like they did the last time.
Wally will just hire more expendable part time no nothing uneducated people. There will be a line out the door of people waiting to put in applications.
Get a grip, WM folks. Starter jobs are just that... not meant to be careers.
Being a former Walmart employee from a long time back, I can safely say that the company will not tolerate this and will be handing our pink slips and final paychecks to anyone who decided to strike. Walmart doesn’t play around with this kind of proto-union nonsense.
Has the price of crack gone up all that much?
The last Wal-Mart store I remember opening had about 200 positions to fill and got about 3000 applications. Any Wal-Mart employee stupid enough to picket will be replaced before a cat can lick it’s &$$!!!
A relative who works for the corporation tells me that if they strike the theft loss will plummet. Locally employees get fired for stealing regularly, only to be replaced by others whose only goal is to do the same. Most of the cashiers seem to be able to afford new SUV’s and hair/nail care while shopping with their EBT cards.
