Or, maybe this: "Some employees believe that the stores were closed because of worker protests for higher pay.

Employees of the Pico Rivera store were among the first to hold Black Friday protests in 2012."

And liberals will complain about the closings after having complained about Wal-mart for years and wanting them to go away.

Wow. Maybe the PTBs at Walmart have been paying close attention to Barack Hussein Obama's words and rhetoric. You know....the part about punishing your enemies? I just call it 'karma' and those pesky unintended consequences of leftist activist policies.

Employees of the Pico Rivera store were among the first to hold Black Friday protests in 2012.

"This is the first store that went on strike," an employee told CBS Los Angeles. "This is the first store in demanding changes for Walmart."

Many local communities treat Walmart as the golden goose to tax and to permit the hell out of it. Their scam inspectors are in Walmart more than a regular employee, figuring out new ways to scam Walmart for more money besides the enormous sales taxes and property taxes paid each quarter/year by Walmart.

About a decade ago, Walmart closed a big store in a backrupt city run by libs and opened an even bigger store a few miles away in a different county/city.

Good employees were give the opportunity to go to the new store. Which has been a huge success.

Apparently, due to the fees/demands by the city/county where the original store was, made Walmart to make the decision to close that store and move to a friendly city/county.

I can state categorically that one of the stores closed under the “Plumbing Premise” is as low as a store can be.

This Ghetto Mart is a dangerous place to go. Hookers all over the place, strip joints and who knows what else.

I figured, the pipes were full of guns, needles, and fetus’s.

One of the store closed was the first to protest Wal-Mart wages back in 2012, per Drudge.

Meanwhile where we live, they have just built a second walmart close enough to shoot a rifle to the other, and both parking lots are full.

All workers will receive paid leave for two months.

Why are they panicked and crying?
I would say, "Hot Dog! If you need me, I'll be at the beach!"

Walmart has a history of closing stores where the employees protest for higher wages or unionize. An old story in Huffington Post reported last year on a Canadian Walmart that closed after the employees voted to unionize. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/27/walmart-closed-store-union_n_5538201.html

No sympathy here. Getting kicked out of the nest is a good thing. Don't like your pay? Go get a marketable skill that will make you more money instead of sitting around Wal-Mart crying that they're not getting it done for you.

If I had a nice aerospace job with Lockheed and went public with all kinds of accusations that Lockheed pays their people like crap, their benefits are crap, and their work conditions are crap, I wouldn't expect to have a job very long with them, either.
