Advocating For Wal Mart Workers

HOW IN THE WORLD WAL MART has avoided being unionized over fifty years of explosive growth is a mystery as great as who killed JFK or how many species of aliens live among us. Millions of employees, hundreds of thousands making below a living wage, and no labor union. Incredible. Have they systematically "eliminated" all in store pro union sentiment? If nothing else, this lack of a workers union at Wal Mart is a tribute to the victory of corporate power over the American working class. Decades of relentless free market propaganda, aided and abetted by a government bought and paid for by the corporate owners. You end up with a nation of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations. But how much longer can this continue? The gap between rich and poor continues to grow. More and more Americans are experiencing hard economic times. There are at least two organized groups advocating for Wal Mart workers. One is called "Our Wal Mart", and the other is called "Making Changes At Wal Mart", and both, judging by their names, sound serious. Both groups promise a bigger "Black Friday" protest than last year, and last year's protest was nothing to sneeze at. On black Friday, there will be hundreds of Wal mart employees outside Wal mart stores across the country, drawing attention to their exploitative plight. It almost seems as if a union of Wal Mart workers is already in existence, in a sense. Has Wal Mart simply fired workers over the decades who showed the slightest indication of organizing? That might not work this time; there may be too many workers protesting to fire them all, this time. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year - is one week away. Friday, Wal Mart will be packed with customers, all of whom will take notice of their brothers and sisters, the exploited workers of Wal mart, outside.
