Here's how it works; a bunch of union flunkies apply for jobs at a Walmart in a major media market. Once they are hired, they then have the legal right to distribute union literature to other employees on WalMart property. They then ‘strike’ which is just a big PR shinding, as typically these are part of the midnight stocking crew and not employees who'd be working on Black Friday anyway.

That's the great trick to the whole thing; none of the ‘striking’ workers are actually scheduled to work during the strike and mind, WalMart automatically fires those who are late on mandatory days. Since none of the strikers are actually supposed to be working, they can claim a walkout to the media, but nothing from Walmart as a response. And to stay within the law, every picket holder simply needs three pieces of union literature in their pocket and they are legally ‘handing out literature to fellow employees.’

This year, Walmart got the upper hand; anyone who holds up a sign saying ‘strike’ can be escorted off the property and sued. But the union thugs will be back next year, with picket signs that won't mention a strike or walkout.
