There aren't enough jobs available to take all the walmart employee's.
I know for a fact that if every single Walmart employee walked out on Black Friday and got fired, they would fill every single position by the following Monday. That is just how bad unemployment is in the US right now.

If so then I fully support it.

I doubt it.
It will be a thin line of defensive picketers facing waves of marauding shoppers.
It would be like the Spartans.
Instead of the three hundred it would be the three dozen.
They hold off the initial assault at the grocery entrance with a cart barricade and wet floor sign. The pharmacy entrance is impassable as they have built a wall with kitty litter barrels, christmas trees and an entire "as seen on tv" display. things are fine for awhile until a disgruntled cart boy leads the shoppers in through the quick lube entrance.

If you're born and raised in American you're raised to actually believe that you have a sense of entitlement, priviledge, status, that even when someone gives you a "real job", people complain about it.
There's only millions of other people around the world who would kill, literally kill for the opportunity to have that wal mart job, regardless of wage, hours, work load etc etc. Yet all they can do is complain about it. The only thing that actually makes sense is just how brainwashed people actually grow up. So it's really not all there fault. But still....
Talk is cheap.

I love it when somebody takes a job and then demands more than they agreed to work for.
If its not worth doing then don't take that job.
Wal mart gets away with paying low wages because people agree to work for them.
I usually only buy toilet paper from Walmart because that's what most of their products are good for but I'd consider spending more on Black Friday just to push a full cart through a picket line.
I've got no respect for the gang mentality.

Hmmm......
I know Walmart is a big business, but walking out doesn't help no one.
Just ask the 18000 losing their Jobs at Hostess, right before Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
