anonimalle User ID: 20992752 United States 11/24/2012 01:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.breitbart.com] Quoting: Bluebird Despite union efforts to target retailers like Walmart, businesses are reporting record Black Friday traffic – the biggest sign yet that the unions are out of touch with the American people. Starting at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, Walmart put its products on Black Friday sale, sparking a run to the stores and earning the stores record sales. Am not a fan of WalMart they were in the right and am glad they won. Unions are all for the union heads who are rich and greedy. Unions may have been good once but they seem to be trying to destroy the world today. They’ve already sold nearly 2 million towels, 1.3 million televisions, and 250,000 bicycles. According to Walmart Chief Executive Bill Simon, over 1.3 million Walmart staffers are on duty. There have been picket lines around the country, but the movement has been far less effective than expected. Behind every myth lies a mystery, and every legend holds an echo of the truth …… Que Sera Sera "For not by numbers of men nor by measure of body but by valor of soul is war decided" Bilisarius " At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.

Walmart is the enemy of the American people, yet some of the you are so blinded by your brainwashing and insatiable need for more cheap chinese shinies that you just cant help but come to defend a company that intentionally destroys communities in the name of capitalism. You as taxpayers subsidize Walmart profits by paying for their employee benefits, doesnt that irk you at all? Walmart is so scared of their employees forming unions that they are willing to walk away from stores that are entirely stocked and ready to open, doesnt that alone tell you that their business practices include things that would never fly with an educated organized workforce? Lawsuit after lawsuit is filed against this business due to the way they treat employees and some of you cheer them on. Its pathetic. |

I went to Walmart Friday @9am and it was dead....parking lot was empty. It is going to be a poor holiday season for retailers.

Quoting: Bluebird If they don't want to work for Walmart, maybe they should quit. You know...I'm not a big union guy, but you have to watch what you wish for... Wal-mart is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to hiring illegals and paying them shit, at least over here they are. You should find out what the workers are fighting for before you judge. Would you support them if you found out thy were fighting to keep the company fro hiring illegal immigrants for pennies on the dollar? What if the company is making female employees suck off the managers to keep their jobs? I mean at certain point people have to stand up and fight or really it's just a race to the bottom, and 3rd worlders will sleep in the back room and work for .25 cents an hour, is this really what you want to compete against? Because they WILL hire them, and everyone's standard of living goes down. I m a capitalist, I believe in market forces, however the end result is all of us living like the 3rd world refugees that these companies are looking to hire. Viper_Smart |

Viper_Smart User ID: 28161024 Canada 11/24/2012 02:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's biggest retailer, has agreed to pay $11 million to settle federal allegations it used illegal immigrants to clean its stores, attorneys in the case said Friday. The landmark settlement was expected to be announced by federal immigration officials at a news conference Friday morning. [link to www.cbsnews.com] ------------------------- Wal-Mart Knowingly Hired Illegal Aliens; ICE, Immigration Chief Garcia Knew By Debbie Schlussel I liked Wal-Mart. I’m not one of the far-left, anti-Wal-Mart activists. But this latest news is very disappointing (though not at all surprising). [link to www.debbieschlussel.com] ------------------------- Are any of you FOR this type of behavior by the company? Are you willing to not support your own people? This company is knowingly hiring illegals, which is only helping to destroy your country, driving your wages down and THIS is the biggest reason why our countries are FLOODED with disgusting third world types... They are ENCOURAGED to come here to steal your dreams, these companies WANT a public who will live ten to a house in squalor and filth, just to make a profit. If you have to compete against them then you have to live like them, because they will work for nothing, and the company would rather settle out in court. These companies have ZERO loyalty to you and could care less if they destroy your way of life in pursuit of a dollar. I agree that SOME unions have taken it too far, but at the same time people need to fight back against these communist globalist scum corps that are encouraging the dregs of the earth to flood into the countries we built and destroy our way of life.
