I heard, some time ago in an earlier thread about this, that that was the reason for the strike; To protest the essential ban of unionization of Walmart workers.

I worked there for a little over a year. We had to sit through a series of videos as part of our training. One of the videos was about 20 minutes long and devoted to how much Unions suck.

As far as I can see Wal-Mart provides only one useful service - it's a gathering place for people who are products of generations of dedicated inbreeding thus making it easy to avoid them.

No, in all seriousness, if workers want to unionize they should have that right. If management wants to fire them all and hire scabs, that's their right too. Let the two figure it out on their own.

They arent technically scabs until the Union is in place, and it is the employers right to fire the employees /before/ a contract has been agreed to that says otherwise. So wal-Mart already has that option, what they are afraid of is collective bargaining power.
As to the poster who took it upon himself to insult those who shop at wal-mart, well, it must be nice to not need to budget for yourself and your family -- however given the pricing at wal mart with regards to grocery items its hardly uncompetative.
Properly researched purchasing demonstrates that the products(groceries) sold in wla mart are equal in nutritional content to any products found at high end retailers like Wholefoods -- who merely target a different demographic with Mythology marketing about the process of food production and nutritional quality in the US.
So very well, Walmart customers may indeed by the Slackjawwed masses, but they are the Slacked Jawwed masses getting a better price for the exact same quality product as the Dead Eyed Dilitants of Dumbfuckery who look down upon them--and in that equation that makes them the second slowest in a two man race to idiot land.
As to the poster who suggests those employed at Walmart are sub-human, you are a sad and pathetic individual. The large numbers of retired people who find work to supplement their disgustingly social security(in a land of abundance) yes these people who build the nation you plod your pittiful self around in now so smugly, they are certainly far more human, deserving of respect and defference than you and those of your wretched ilk. Or the young people who get their first jobs there, yes productive youth looking to better themselves by their own efforts rather than daddies dime...I doubt you are worthy of cleaning their shoes.
And sub-human, Wal-Mart takes the tax break for hiring the mentally handicapped, perhaps in this group you may find some kindred spirits...but then theirs is a crippling of the mind by fate, yours is a crippling of the heart by your own pathetic design...so even among them the title of pariah would be a kingly gift in your case.
I dont care if its flaming - Basic lack of compassion for the weakest among us is disgusting.

Or, you know, the employees can strike and we can still shop. With no staff to handle it and too much customers, well, I think I will partake in brewing a massive shitstorm.
