I shop there and like it. Walmart is good for America. Tell the unions to butt the hell out , they wont wreck this like they did the steel industry. I also know some Walmart workers who enjoy working there. Good to know they did great on Black Friday despite the Unions brought in to hurt them.
The unions only interest in Walmart is the great untapped source of income from collecting union dues from it's employees should they be able to unionize. Aside from that, the union could give a rat's ass about Walmart employees.
For the most part employers pay at a level where a balance between the value of the work performed is matched with the skill level and experience of the employee. In other words, appropriate.Sure they do. You get an employee handbook and sign that it was received by you. You sign that everything in your employment application is truthful. Ink matters, especially to employers.
But no one in America is indentured. Period.
Some jobs come with personnel handbooks. Some don't. Signing a personnel application is NOT an employee/employer agreement and some place don't require written applications at all. In our business we received lots and lots of resumes and I sometimes hired from those and sometimes I just talked with the person, got the names of their former employers, and after checking them out hired them. Sometimes you just know you don't even need to check them out. My two very best employees I got that way. And I have been hired on the spot in just that way.
But you are correct. As long as we are a free country, nobody is required to work for anybody and also nobody is guaranteed a perfect job that they provides everything they want and that they love in every aspect.
But the society can only sustain itself if the wages you pay enable a person to live and consume at a base level: clothing, food, toaster, etc. Certainly your business depends on wage earners who make decent livings.

If anyone who works at Walmart is unable to afford those basic items, it IS NOT the fault of Walmart.
I agree. It's our fault. We fear that decent wages will cost us more at the checkout stand and thus tolerate a minimum wage, inflation adjusted, that's half of what it was in the 70s.
Once again. We are all responsible to ourselves. If one has the drive, they can reach their potential with the appropriate amount of effort.I agree. It's our fault.

Those that complain about being underpaid and do nothing about it, are their own worst enemies.
I've no problem with that. So if they're being responsible and wishing to provide for themselves and not have to supplement their earnings with government assistance such as childcare, EBT card for food, etc, then they should do what those good manufacturing workers did to climb out of poverty wages: organize and demand better pay.
I have avoided shopping at Walmart for many years. Primarily becuase of what they have done to small retailers and to American manufacturing.
This current labor dispute is just another reason not to shop there. From now on I will not shop there under any circumstances
It isn't that they don't pay workers well or give good benefits, it's the retaliation against workers speaking out.
I believe that workers have a right to free speech, even if it's critical of their employers.
Worker's right to free speech should be protected from any retaliation.
We have brave men and women in combat zones who work 24/7 to make sure you little immature ass wipes can complain about bull shit issues.And Ebenezer Scrooge chimes in! Are there no Work Houses? The treadmill is still running, is it not? And a Happy Thanksgiving to all who can afford it!

Has anyone noticed the absence of criticism for Home Depot, Lowes. Sears, K Mart, Target, and many other dept stores and discounters? These are generally non-union as well.
This give a strong indication that this is not a legitimate issue, but a CAUSE put forth by union activists.
IN this latest attack on Walmart, it has been discovered that is it not mainly Walmart employees staging these protests, it is people shipped in bu instructed to travel to protests by unions. Simply to stir up trouble.
My take is the more unions push this, the more blow back they receive from an unsympathetic public.
The goal of course is to put the entire country under the thumb of the union bosses

yep that is the liberal goal indeed, and the high prices it will cause will drive another drive another 20 million jobs offshore. They ruined manufacturing and now they want to ruin retailing. Its just that stupid and liberal.
If this economy continues to improve as it has we all will be shopping at Walmart.
I walked into a Walmart the other day for one thing, and I walked out of Walmart with one thing.
True story!

Of the 12 companies I listed, the one that is on the brink of bankruptcy is J.C. Penney and you don't get any more history and tradition than you have with that company that has been around for my entire and ever longer life. But I don't buy the $45 sweatshirt a Penneys when I can get one that is just as good for $20 at Wal-mart. I did shop at Penneys when I needed better quality work clothes and dress up clothes, but I don't need either much any more. But I do like my sweatshirts, especailly this time of year.
Walmart provides products that broadly appeal to lower middle income people who like nice stuff but smply can't afford high end prices to have it. Our old TV in the master bedroom was shooting out sparks recently and we figured it would be a good idea to replace it. We checked maybe eight different retailers here in town, but found the best deal at Walmart. It's not a high end fancy TV, but it looks good and provides a perfectly adequate picture and it serves our needs very well.
The sad thing is, none of the retailers had any made in America TVs.
No, some pain killer.I walked into a Walmart the other day for one thing, and I walked out of Walmart with one thing.
