How dare the workers bargain! Bargaining is only for the well-off in society, bargaining is only for those with three generation of wealthy heritage and such. Workers don't deserve to bargain, they deserve to live in shit and lick the boots of those born into wealth. That is the ideology of rightism, the ideology of liberalism.

anyone prepared to bargain should be prepared to get a bad deal......

We need to turn to violence. The needs of the workers are being ignored. Those who ignore the needs of the downtrodden should not feel secured in life and limb. They have thrown off the social contract, why shouldn't we?

Not yet we don't but if it comes down to it, America has been due for a Revolution for quite some time.

I have been working diligently to level out the playing field. Basically what is happening is that economic traitors of America(who are actually controlled by European elitists), who have bought there way into the American economy via a federal reserve where they make money out of thin air? Is now exporting America's wealth to their next host nation. China. The politicians huff and puff and give lip service but the facts of the mater is that the Politicians also have stocks with those Asian companies and are enjoying record profits. This is why they are not too quick to stop this unfair advantage and manipulation of Asian currency.

Right out of the Communist Manifesto. You saw what happened to Hostess, now I cannot find my Home Pride Bread because of these Komrads. Keep messing with fire, and you and your Pinkos will eventually get burnt. There are a lot of people out of work, Walmart just needs to order everyone to show up or get fired, so fire everyone who does not show up for work and just rehire others, end of story. Also, put their names in Mitt Romney binders so stores like Target will know who the troublemakers are and not hire them if they apply at Target after losing their jobs at Walmart. If they want to play hardball, then lets throw a duster at them...NEXT, SJJRSJJS has a solution for every radical Leftist strategery...oMyAss

Nice spin! Yes many people are out of work THANKS to companies like wal-mart that have been outsourcing American jobs! A right to strike/protest is the foundation of a free society so dont bring me that communist manifesto crap!

If Walmart fires everyone, expect the biggest boycott in American history!!! The People must realize and utilize the power given to them by those who died for our freedoms! The revolutionaries!

Target is the next target!lol. Traditionally I am against unions, but there is something VERY WRONG happening in North America.

Giving walmart employees a raise will put more pocket in the money of consumers, stimulate consumerism and thus create jobs. It will also create more tax income for the government. Which is very much needed.

Walmart can come away with a black eye or get knocked out, though I have no doubt. Walmart will lose against the strikers.

Walmart fulltime employees are treated well, but everyone without an education starts out at the bottom of the deck and not necessarily fulltime until they have proved themselves, so if they work smarter and harder, keep their noses clean, they will rise to the top of the deck where the aces are. Remember, the cream always rises to the top, so quit the "B" ing and do your thing.

In other words according to you, only the smart and educated should be able to make a decent living to provide for their families? NONSENSE!!!!!

The people would have to demand protectionism!!! Obama tried to but the WTO(world trade organization) leaned on him and shut him up. There is only so much that can be done without the people rising up and DEMANDING change!! Democratically elected officials have proven time and time again, they are unable to bring substantial change. Why? The world and governments are controlled by an elite group of Oligarchs. The 1%. They own more then 50% of the world's total wealth and that number has been rising rapidly thanks to globalization!!

I'm arguing with an idiot on another board that claims that walmart brings jobs to America. They dont realize that they squashed 50,000,000 American jobs and put many mom and pop shops in bankruptcy. If you do the math? Walmart is the main reason America is LOSING jobs. They are being exporting to Asia for cheap labour and thus higher profit margins, all at the expense of the American worker(jobs). These are economic traitors! Greed over ethics and patriotism!!! Let it be known that the elites only believe in the golden calf(wealth)and their loyalty is to their bank accounts. Not to any religion nor to any country.

We lost three hardware stores, a grocery, and a few other businesses. Now that place is like going to a county fair. I have been to our local one in about 5 years.

Which of the above has ANYTHING to do with my correctly pointing out that they are NOT making outrageous profits?
 
There's this for the fiscal 'conservatives' to think about in regard to Walmart and it's costs to society...we subsidize these greedy bastards.

Reliance by Wal-Mart workers on public assistance programs in California comes at a cost to the taxpayers of an estimat- ed $86 million annually; this is com- prised of $32 million in health related expenses and $54 million in other assis- tance.

The families of Wal-Mart employees in California utilize an estimated 40 per- cent more in taxpayer-funded health care than the average for families of all large retail employees.

The families of Wal-Mart employees use an estimated 38 percent more in other (non-health care) public assistance pro- grams (such as food stamps, Earned Income Tax Credit, subsidized school lunches, and subsidized housing) than the average for families of all large retail employees.

If other large California retailers adopt- ed Wal-Mart’s wage and benefits stan- dards, it would cost taxpayers an addi- tional $410 million a year in public assis- tance to employees.

That's just California...multiply it, do the math.

When workers do not earn enough to support themselves and their families through their own jobs, they rely on public safety net programs to makes ends meet. In fact, more than half of the public assistance in California now goes to the working poor.1
This report estimates the public assis- tance expenditures for California workers employed by Wal-Mart. The report quantifies the cost of public assistance in California resulting from Wal-Mart’s pay and benefit package, using data compiled on the ten largest public assistance programs in the state.2 Wal-Mart is the largest employer in the United States, with more than one million workers. As of 2001, Wal-Mart had 143 stores and employed about 44,000 workers in California. It is expanding rapidly. Wal-Mart’s wages and benefits are significantly below retail industry standards. Since Wal-Mart’s future growth trajectory may have a significant impact on industry standards, the study also assesses the potential costs that taxpayers would incur if other large retailers in the state were to follow the Wal-Mart model due to real or perceived competitive pressure.

It's more than just outsourcing our jobs...

Excellent news for Americans(and soon to follow Canadian)!! This one way to counter the outsourcing of good paying jobs. STRIKE!!! it is clear that Walmart and its stock holders are enjoying record profits! Time to share some of that wealth with the working class. This will put more money in their pockets and stimulate consumption! Forget the trickle down economic garbage!!!

It's time to undo what the CEO has done which is take the jobs of Americans(layoffs), double the workload of those remaining, so that shareholders can get rich! Time for the working class to stand up and put an end to this injustice!!! Sure the rich will lie and spin to justify this injustice, but the bank accounts and the current economic climate of the majority of Americans know they have been given the short end of the stick!!!!

I support this strike 110%!!! Walmart workers are underpaid, considering the profits being racked in!!! The Walmart Employees will not lose this battle!!

In other news, the two parties have no choice but to put aside differences and work together. Which is more positive news.

Leftists will never get the curx of the issue.....the company does not exist for the workers benefit.....you work for your own benefit....they work for
their benefit......you are both there to earn money, but in completely different ways.....

If you want to profit from the companys earnings, do it like everyone else does, invest in that company.....buy some stock....5 shares here and 5 shares there
and soon you will see your investment grow just like other investors....

Do you hire a roofing company for that companys benefit....of course not....you pay them for a service, no matter how much money that roofing co. makes...its
theirs, and not yours....so if your a multi-millionaire, do they have a right to your money over what you agree to pay them for their service, of course not....

Does Walmart hire a trucking co. so that co. can benefit...no, they hire them to perform a service....its business.....pinheads just can't seem to
understand the basics of business at any level....

Pinheads just think they deserve a cut of the success of others....in just about everything they encounter....be it someones successful business or a portion of
another's earned wealth.....they think they should share in another persons belongings, that by some magic, some of it is rightfully theirs

Your OK with Asia taking all the western jobs? I think this new free market garbage being sold and packaged as cqpitalist is the most stupidest ideology ever conceived!! Ask the 50 Million Americans that have lost their job because of it, and all the loss of tax income for the US government and the burden on health care and social security.

And you believe isolating ourselves economically from the rest of the world is somehow going to be a benefit to the U.S. and its workers?

That's what happens when you make everyone dependent on government. Sooner or later you're going to run out of other people's money. Dumb asses.
 
My friend's company opened another office and hired 30 more people. They were holding off until after the election out of fear that a Romney/Ryan economy would destroy them.

That was part of America's success for centuries. They were isolated, until they got greedy and wanted to exploit cheap foreign labour.

Why dont you ask the 50 million Americans(and climbing) that lost their jobs to outsourcing what they think about free market capitalism? And all the other children that are entering the workforce with limited jobs?
