As a backdrop against this is the fact that there are 14 million people that are unemployed ... with 18,500 added to the number because of union actions. I wonder how many of the total are a result of union action?
How many jobs have the union created and I don´t mean those double dips they force on employers.

Please Walmart, fire every employee who was suppose to be working and walked off the job today. We are sick of unions and their demands not to mention the union thugs.

pretty telling line "including many Walmart employees". down here in St. Cloud Florida there was ONE employee.

The so-called employees who are demonstrating are paid Union slugs, bussed in by trumka etal. Leeches, one and all.

Am torn. On one hand, I´d like to kick Walmart in the jimmie for opening on Thanksgiving and sticking a foot into the door or screwing up my 2nd favorite Holiday.

On the other hand, union thugs up to no good always deserve a kick in the jimmie.

I am with #5....here is another. How about we get back to Keeping Holy the Sabbeth...no stores open on Sunday . We survived this Commandement when we were growing up..oh and the stores were not open until 9 and 10 p.m.
As far as Walmart...fire em...

I worked retail during my high school years and off and on during college. I expected minimum wage,no health ins no paid vaca´s etc. What is it these employees want from Walmart? They choose the job. Plus I hear Walmart pays many people above minimum and they have opportunities to advance.

You don´t have to work there - don´t let the door hit you in the butt

How or why does any store that wants to be open on any holiday bother anyone?

And why isn´t Target a target?

God Bless Walmart - an American Horatio Alger success story.

You notice these union marxists never put their money where their mouths are and start their own companies.

my gosh I hate unions. I understand wanting to keep idiots in management in check but unions are just as good as bad managers in destroying businesses. They are not holy creatures free from corruption.

KMart was open on Thanksgiving. Has been for years. No protest.

Price Chopper (local grocery store) was open. Has been for years. No protest.

Target was open on Thanksgiving. Has been for years. No protest.

Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving. No protest.

Union thugs are hypocrites of the deepest dye!!! It isn´t about working on Thanksgiving, it´s about being booted out of Walmart. Don´t let anyone tell you different!!!

The strikers should all quit and get jobs as nuclear engineers or medical researchers. Ha!

Our Walmart seems to hire quite a number of handicapped folks who might otherwise have a job. Can the union say the same? If the workers feel that they are underpaid, let them quit and find a job in competition with the millions of other unemployed.

If you have a job and you choose to WALK OFF that Job on the busiest day of the shopping year, I would FIRE YOU in a heartbeat. With the MILLIONS of unemployed looking for work, it wouldn´t take but a week to train new employees. I would put up a HUGE SIGN stating what can be expected to happen to anyone who doesn´t show up for work that day, or any other day that they´re supposed to work. ENOUGH of this bullying by the Unions. Walmart does NOT have to unionize. PERIOD!

The line you never see in these articles, but is true, is this: "Shoppers seemed unaffected by the protestors actions, or to even be aware that a protest was occurring."

Union dues are a stupid tax.

What would they do if no reporter showed up to advertise their actions? Would they just march around or would they beat up someone to get attention.... after all they are union thugs are they not?

What have they done in the past???

Just more George Soros funded union thuggery. Will that evil man never give up his dream of destroying the country?

Fire each and every one of them.
