Re: Walmart Black Friday Walkout

That way of thinking wouldn't be a problem if it was actually kept to. Instead of paying their workers next to nothing or shipping their jobs overseas, they could give an opportunity for people to pay enough to at least survive.

I will say that I found Target to be the most anti-union. They have a video where they have workers pretend to feel "left out" because their co-workers are in a union. You won't become friends with your co-workers guise! It also blatantly spells out "You won't get more hours if you're in a union". Classy Target, classy.

Sadly Target is cleaner than Walmart on average. I say that loosely as I ended up getting MRSA from Target. But that was most likely from a selfish prick of a customer throwing their trash around as if workers are their parents or something. ;/

I've worked at Wal-Mart, and they also had an anti-union video. It was like one of those anti-drug PSAs except instead of a drug dealer, you were approached by a UNION REP, and it had tips for how to JUST SAY NO, and then went on to tell us why we don't need unions anymore.

That sounds kind of hilarious. I'm imagining a lot of bad acting and the union rep is made to look obviously shady and lurks in alleys and things.

It was a long time ago, so I don't remember specifics but yeah it was pretty much like that and training videos are always hilariously bad. I did not work there for very long.

I worked for them, too. IIRC, wasn't there also something in there about how you can be straight up fired for even thinking about unionizing, much less breathing the word out loud?

That wouldn't surprise me! The video might've shown someone saying to their coworker "What do you think about unions?" and the coworker told on her and she got fired, yeah. My memory is pretty vague, though.

I just started working at Target a couple months ago, and the anti-union video was weird. That being said, everything I've seen and heard so far indicates that, at my store at least, the powers that be are good to their employees. I'm kind of nervously waiting to find the dark underbelly.

Pros: I had coffee at sunday huddles
