Here's to Wal Mart employees across the country!

[Earth_First]

Many of whom know that by walking off the job today that illegal retaliation against them by their managers and corporate lawyers will be swift and unjust.

It takes courage and conviction to put your economic well-being on the line so that your brothers and sisters may have an equitable work enviornment.

There are many actions across the country beginning this morning joined by organized labor and concerned activists in solidarity to bear witness to the right of employees to organize fairly and justly.

To the Wal Mart employees of North America: we are 100% behind you!

May the pushback spread like wildfire, well beyond Walmart.

Anything we need can be found elsewhere or we don't need it that bad.

according to this article...

It seems that, while a great many people may empathize with the striking Walmart workers, it's probably not going to stop them from taking advantage of being able to stretch their own buying dollars and they will shop at Walmart anyway.

Can they really be blamed for that?
