This is not about minimum wage jobs, this is about a company that considers 32 hrs or less a full week so they don't have to pay any benefits. This also has nothing to do with obamacare, taxpayers have been picking up the walmart tab for years while Sam Walton's heirs are worth around 100 billion dollars. And I don't believe the strike originated in the stores, it originated in the walmart warehouses where workers claim they regurly worked 10-12 hrs a day for 8 hrs pay. I have no problem with min wage jobs, want better you can get a trade or go to school. I do have a problem when my tax money is used to offset a walmart employees pay.
