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.
I'm curious. What government benefits are these people getting? And shouldn't this be a bitch about the government, not Walmart? If the government is giving benefits to people that are working 32 hours a week, it has to make you scratch your head. Doesn't it?
