Walmart Strikes: Lone Worker Walks Out, Receives Trespass Warning Ahead Of Black Friday

The walkout included just one worker -- Vanessa Ferreira, age 59. Ferreira informed her manager publicly Wednesday morning that she was going on strike. The other employees watched her walk out of the store, then went back to doing their jobs.

Within a half hour, Ferreira would be told by police outside that she was trespassing and ordered to leave. She's worked in the store's cake department for eight years, and she earns $11.90 an hour, she said.

"They pay low wages, then the taxpayers pick up the tab for food stamps and Medicaid," Ferreira said. "They need to take care of their people. They need to be responsible to their workers."

Welcome to Communist China cuz this sure as hell ain't the United States anymore.

Black Friday Creep Costs Retail Workers Their Thanksgiving

Awwwwww......get another job then.:eusa_boohoo:

Well, dang, I wonder why they didn't think of that.

(You're an idiot. A damn ignorant rw idiot who has no clue about what its like to live in the real word because your parents still support you.)


Wrong dumb fuck, I'll have to work less hours soon to avoid getting taxed to death by obama. i own my own home and have been working for the same company for almost 30 years.

if i really was an idiot I'd have an avie like...well...yours.

And the reason they didn't think of that is because they are lazy paracites. Now they want to strike against Walmart to blackmail them into paying them more money than they deserve. Throw them all out on the street.

You have no concept of a service industry do you?

There is no such thing as days off becasue its a "holiday"

hospital staff
prison staff
airlines
police and fire and public safety
hotel and restaurant
utilities

so i have zero sympathy for idiot retail workers who think they are above working when its part of the job.
 
Me too, so she qualifies for unemployment insurance.

I'll bet she'll make less than she did at Walmart.

Either way, she'll be subsisting on below-poverty money and the tax payers will have to make up the difference.

I wonder if rw's would say the same if it was their mother.

Presicely. One instance she should need our help: unemployed. One instance she should not need it: employed.

It's absurd that we permit companies to pay such poor wages that many of their workers need government help to bridge the gap. Why on earth taxpayers need to subsidize Walmart labor costs is beyond me.

Raise the minimum wage. Pronto and substantially.

Why the fuck would someone making $11.50 an hour need welfare? You have no clue.

:lmao:

companies are paying at least what the government sets as a minimum wage.

If you want to complain...complain about government, not what the companies that are paying the wage.

Its not Walmart... or any other company for that matter.... they have no obligation to profit share.
 
8 years and still under $12/hr?

It took that dumb bitch 8 years to figure out jobs at wal-mart are not something to retire from?

:lol:

I worked there 3 months, nights, so I could apply for other jobs while I had a check coming in.

Because, they only make about 460/wk (1,840/month) before taxes.

Can YOU make it on that much per month?

They do not, nor would they qualify. But assistance with healthcare, child daycare and food assistance are far from uncommon.
We have an astonishing class in America (what should not be permitted) : working poor.
