Walmart is downplaying it, but Black Friday protests were historic
Walmart is downplaying it, but Black Friday protests were historic
"Context matters. Walmart wants us to think of the context of its vast numbers of employees who didn't strike. That's a real context. But so is the fact that history was made in Octoberwhen Walmart workers staged a rolling series of one-day strikes, the first such strikes in Walmart's 50-year history. The Black Friday actions made history again, and they made it bigger. The question is whether this is the peak of worker activism at Walmart, or just the beginning."

Now . . . finally . . . there's some blowback across the country, inspired by the workers at Walmart warehouses in southern California."

PERRspectives: Walmart Owners Look to Slash Federal Tax Payments
"Black Friday is the single biggest shopping day of the year. And this Friday, all eyes will be on Walmart, the nation's single biggest retailer and employer. But while the planned protests at 1,000 of the chain's 4,000 locations will keep the focus on Walmart's below-industry standard pay to its 1.3 million associates, the company's owners are actively working to reduce their tax bill as well."
