Tis the season, once again upon us, when an age old tradition returns to cities and towns across the nation. I don’t mean the usual Thanksgiving feasts of yesterday or even the commercial mayhem of Black Friday. We’re talking about the annual protests of Walmart by their beleaguered workers who want a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and, much more to the point, official union representation. The OurWalmart campaign was back at it as usual, preparing to disrupt holiday shopping plans for the masses who prepare to launch into the Christmas giving season. But who are these protesters, really? One might assume that they are stock clerks, register operators, greeters and the rest of the employees who keep the nation’s largest retailer open. But don’t bet on it. This undercover video reveals that the people manning the picket lines are something entirely different.

Well, they're private sector, and they work. That's more than a cut above the bloodsuckers gobbling mountains of pork in your state and local governments. Meanwhile, anyone can see an example of the government employed political class elsewhere.

Maybe he's the political journalist who works as a greeter elsewhere (comment #21).

Maybe most Walmart employees will vote against a union. Either way, it won’t make much difference for that kind of work.

I’ve had rare opportunity to pass by/confront protesters, but...

on two occasions, to local (non confrontational signature gatherers), I asked where do you do all of your shopping?)

Answers were pretty much as to be expected; we support all local business’s, but...

[disclosure, I did a stint at WalMart, it was enlightening and I think that everyone should do at least 6 months there... if they can pass the entry exam... kinda a sarc/)
