Black Friday Walmart Protests, BOYCOTT WALMART ON BLACK FRIDAY 12NOV13

I don't shop at walmart. I find their exploitation of workers in the U.S. and overseas disgusting, and already subsidize their American employees with my tax dollars through the social welfare programs most of them qualify for and need because they are paid so little while the waltons become richer and richer. I  will not give the waltons my hard earned money on top of that. While I am also disgusted by the whole "black friday" hype and do not participate, I hope all that do will boycott walmart as an act of solidarity with the employees that may be outside picketing or who may call in sick, or who may be at the store but working at much slower pace. If enough people stay away from walmart on "black friday" the lack of sales might get the walton's attention and may prompt them to start negotiations with their employees and lead to better benefits and increased wages. Maybe it is a pipe dream, and nothing will happen overnight, but walmart's employees deserve to earn a living wage, and they will have a better chance of achieving that goal if more people would let their conscience guide their shopping. Check this out, and support their cause if you can....

Making Change @ WMT

@ChangeWalmart

Making Change at Walmart is a campaign challenging Walmart to help rebuild our economy and strengthen working families. Anchored by the United Food & Commercial Workers, we are a coalition of Walmart associates, union members, small business owners, religious leaders, community organizations, women’s advocacy groups, multi-ethnic coalitions, elected officials and ordinary citizens who believe that changing Walmart is vital for the future of our country.

The Story

updates

Walmart workers around the country are standing up. They are taking big risks by going on strike to protest Walmart's attempts to silence them firing and discipling those who stand up.

On Black Friday, they have asked community supporters like us to stand up with them. We'll be protesting the fact that most Walmart workers make less than $25,000 a year. Show your support for the workers by helping us call for change at Walmart.
