But NBC reports: Employees Stage Black Friday Protest Outside Walmart

CBS reports: Workers, Activists Protest Low Wages at D.C. Walmart on Black Friday

The vast majority of WM employees know the unions do not have their best interests at heart

Walmart needs to respect our right to speak out for a better lifeIt is not up to Walmart to provide you a better life. that is up to you. Education would be a start. Maybe an additional part time job like many of us have too do in the Obama economy..

Walmart annual wages range between $16,000-$23,000 for cashiers

For a cashier? An Army E1 w/2years in gets $18,378
I think you should stop complaining..............

To be honest, once the Walmart opened in DC....it was the only non-government significant job creator in decades within the District. You could line up a hundred employees and they’d all tell you that they are happy with the job and the company.

WalMart's Response to Protestors;

[Graybeard58]

The 1.3 million member United Food and Commercial Workers union, one of whose tactics is to go into W-M stores, posing as shoppers, fill a cart with meat and other perishables and walk away from it. W-M then has to throw away the food. It does not get re stocked.

I didn’t see anything at the local WalMart here.

I recently had a conversation with the manager of one of my local Walmart stores.

We discussed the situation of Walmart employees, and he told me that the majority of them are not displeased. He said the salary and benefits package is actually quite competitive for retail, and that the media pushes a false narrative.

He glanced at me a bit apprehensively as he said that last, not knowing what side I fell on; when I told him I had no doubt of it, he seemed rather relieved.

I shop at Walmart quite a bit, and the longtime greeter at the door always grins when she sees me....she tells me to keep coming because I’m making her stock options go up. She seems pretty content.

I've worked at this store since it opened, and even though I'm considered full-time and work 40 hours a week, I still rely on government assistance to get by.

Take some night classes, learn a skill, get a better paying job.

I know that is hard in the Obama economy but what other choice do you have.
