walmart employees are planning on striking during black friday and hockey
primerica is uh... supporting that matter for jean americans to also
support the walmart employees by donating food or whatever is necessary
to carry these
strikers through this movement uh... and i'm sure wal-mart's little worried about
it especially considering the fact that black friday is a huge sales in that
and a lot of retailers make a significant amount of money during that
weekend now i think that this would be you
really interesting and possibly very effective strategy
the i don't know if you know this but can stop the spread of this run by much
that's the one thing that every tears about of course on the show to about
half
moneycontrol sparked straight
so if you hit him work house which is in the pocketbook
you're gonna get their attention now they'll strike back and i don't know
what they would do with center and things get messy
but the strikes
and using money as leverage
much more effective way of doing protest for new political movements then asking
democrats pretty please can you possibly be progressive
that that's not gonna work
i think this is going to go get money from corporations
and by the way this also won't work in egypt once they started doing
significant strides and the top businessman agents are losing money also
they like
got bad news for you can't at but it's not possibly ideals
yeah
uh... via and i'm worried obviously that day
that what will happen is twelve percent of wal-mart workers will strike
justified
i know that significant you can fight quote senator workers who have massive
massive problems
and yes what i'm worried about is that it's actually gonna be one point two
percent of the workers and those guys unified and they're worried about it
which by the way they some really break here and they should be really commended
for right and it's about time that somebody a wal-mart said hey
i know you've got really little prices that's because you pass almost nothing
did you make a school of government for health insurance and cetera that doesn't
just affect employees are also affects expert yet that's what makes me most
curious about the story the fact that we can about
corporate welfare and these corporations never pay or some corporations i'm sure
pay decent wages
but in the case of wal-mart
you're full-time employees people working forty-plus hours a week
and they still can't make ends meet
and you know the people they're planning on striking of compiled this list of
demands and i think that it's a great list n the uh... the things that are
asking for not unreasonable at all
a few of the things that i took no doubt that they want to improve workers' lives
of my goodness that is a generous grant
right
of twenty five thousand dollars a year n guarantee quality affordable health
coverage for all warmer
associates and workers
in the company's u_s_ distribution chain took eleven dollars
yet and that that supposedly forty hours rightly so it seems not for
garrity twenty five thousand for part-time workers so began it seems very
reasonable
but uh...
wal-mart and the walton family have made an enormous amount of money billions
upon billions
if six of them are billionaires
and but in reality the rich the poor sam walton passed away missus is air is now
a bio sam walton built a fortune errors
some homework on its own did you work on it but i mean how many billions in aid
it's possible that you might be a little bit better off if you treat your
employees peaceably
if you're not going to have voluntarily which doesn't usually happen
well that's what strikes or yet and this is an entitlement that these guys have a
right to people who live in harry did this massive wealth
and they think that they were entitled to it but they don't think that people
working forty-plus hours a week are not entitled to a fair pay
county crazy the so what what about a dozen workers walked off distribution
warehouse in southern california
on wednesday
thirty more
from six doors in seattle
and they're planning tell thousand store protest plant chicago dallas miami
oklahoma louisiana milwaukee l_a_
minnesota d_c_
that look according to the group making changeable
now obviously not every strike is
ballad or or worthwhile it separate cfg
were reasonable people and you have to figure out what makes us home with this
and given the serbs
but given that walmart has been doing this to employees for decades on an
and their the fuels the time profited to millions upon millions of dollars
between uso
and refused to share that with any of the employees
who built that
miami that literally in the parlance of these last election
because who didn't build that
but what the family that dad built it someone began work on asylum deniro work
on it at all
and making sure the people who work on it every single day and help to build
their fortune and grow their fortune and say we're not sure here with you at all
we're gonna give you the absolute bare minimum we could barely hang in there
you don't have any other choice for the work force letters and uh... and i don't
really understand what the point of a minimum wages if that minimum wage
doesn't allow you to live
you know it's not it's not a living wage you can
if you're working forty hours a week and and you're doing so on minimum wage
that's not enough money to pay your bills and that let's say you have a
family that's not enough money for your family reread this quote sara gilbert
she's a manager striking in seattle
she says i work full time for the rich companies in the world my kids get state
health insurance in their own food
but sing about that's really important
that's exactly what wal-mart relies on in his actually and unfair competitive
events for them compared to local shops so they go in and they know that if they
pay their workers load up wages the government will have to pick up the rest
food stamps insurance medicaid et cetera right
and so they they milk that was a local guy is
and it was actually a local pizza guy
who's complaining about this vis-a-vis papa john's those us in the news
is that look like the address sixty employees or whatever you have music
high-paid dental coverage
cuz i got to use it was constant is that happened was i want to know that's a and
so my prices are higher than competence
and wal-mart does that on an industrial scale so that's why the popped my mom
pop shops can't compete animator and uh... you see that we one of the free
market breathing you one partly by relying on the government
that's a great honor
