Wal-mart Could be Facing a Labour Issue this Black Friday


Bad news on the horizon this Black Friday for Wal-mart. North America's largest retailer is staring down the barrel of a major labour dispute. This Sandiego Press Article noted that the notoriously anti-union company has been affected by employee walk outs at 28 stores in 12 states.

Workers are fed up with poor working conditions and a lack of benefits and have decided to try and take action to hurt the retailer where it counts; the bottom line. Rumors are swirling as to how wide spread the walk out could go as other store employees hear the rally cry.

The group of employees that have walked out are saying they plan to also do so on November 23rd making Wal-mart's Black Friday even blacker. It's doubtful that Wal-mart will bend on the issue, as it would set a bad example that they would be forced to follow up with across the entire chain.
