why even work...when you can join the democrat party, and collect checks in the mail every month- thats what this election was about....nothing else seems to matter
and the ironic thing is,,the providers still get demonized
Dude, where is my check??? I voted well over a week ago and not one damn thing has arrived in the mail.
No I won't support "the plight" of the Walmart worker.
If the walmart worker wants to better themselves then they need to do it on their own accord and through their own effort.
We have Community Colleges with certificate programs, 1 year programs and 2 year programs that give you training to get a better, higher paying job and we also provide money to you if you don't have it.
That Walmart cashier job is an entry level, no skill job, not a career for the rest of your life.

Best way to support the plight of the Walmart worker is to not shop at Walmart. Shop where workers are, in your view, paid fairly. Shopping at those retailers will grow their businesses and allow them to hire away from Walmart.

Problem solved.
Oh the solution is there alright. It has always been there.
But people don't want to go out of their way to support that solution.

No need to join any political party to receive checks.
Has anyone run for president on the platform of eliminating/reducing unemployment benefits, SNAP benefits and/or Section 8 assistance?
I really do not understand how somee get so wound up about feeding children and ignore that many of the most profitable large corporations use the tax code to avoid paying any income taxes on their jaw dropping profits. These corporations, their senior officers and major shareholders make contributions to both parties and lobby Congress to maintain the system that gives them a substantial edge over small business.

Walmart didn't become #1 without consumers buying their stuff and putting the Mom & Pop's out of business in every town they landed in.
Keep crying about the corporate greed and think of it when you park in Wallymart's lot to do your food shopping.
Lets say the workers are successful of getting a union what would be the reaction by Walmart. We know they will have a reaction due to the fact they strive to increase profit margins and decrease expenses. Some of the reaction might include these:
Walmart greeters, gone.
More registers open where customers self scan and bag and thus less workers.
Hire a temp staff for unloading merchandise and night stocking.
Hire a trucking company instead of their own drivers.
Instead of 1 worker in each dept they will have 2 depts.
Etc etc, ad nausem.
And then when it is all said and done and by time the workers pay their union dues they end up with a whole quarter a hour more. Man, they are in the union they are movers and shakers now
Greeters have a security function and I don't see them being eliminated under wage increases.
I have n o real opinion about what the employees of Walmart are trying to do, but I've always found it amusing when people go on strike to protest low wages... it seems a bit counterproductive. "I want to be paid more money/work more hours, and I'm not gonna work until I get what I want!"

Walmart didn't get to be #1 by itself you know.
"Somebody else made that happen"?
