Looming Wal-Mart strike may impact Black Friday Sales

By Jim Peterson on November 20, 2012

Digital News Report – Wal-Mart may have a problem with their 2012 Thanksgiving Sales, because workers may strike for better health care compensation and working environment. Some of the complaints were that the company would schedule both a husband and wife to work on the holiday, leaving their children without either parent.

The number of protestors are few, so it is unlikely to see the strikers at most stores. Wal-Mart of course, is working on trying to get the protestors removed from the front of their stores.

The question remains, if an all out strike occurs with massive numbers of workers picketing outside of Wal-Mart stores, will people cross the line for the savings.
