These protests all came together very quickly and spontaneously in response to Walmart's request that its employees work on Thanksgiving day.

Walmart told its employees a few weeks before Thanksgiving that they would have to work on Thanksgiving because Walmart's market research is alleged to have found that people want to go shopping as soon as they finished their Thanksgiving dinners.

These protests spontaneously erupted in almost all 50 states.

This isn't a union fail.

No one expects Walmart to fall overnight.
