We're thankful for #solidarity. Stand with #WalmartStrikers tomorrow in your area: bit.ly/Wy1fqq #1u #p2 #thanksgiving—

But all that social media solidarity doesn’t seem to be hurting Walmart’s sales. Despite the best efforts of leftists like Robert Reich to convince shoppers to boycott the retail giant, the Christmas shopping season looks like it’s off to a great start at Walmart stores.
Wal-Mart: 22M+ customers served since opening stores last night, with 10M register transactions and 5,000 items/sec. processed at peak time.—

Sorry, union organizers. Better luck next year.
Only 26 protests occurred at stores last night and many of them did not include any Walmart associates: walmarturl.com/10G487Q—

Update:
Walmart estimates no more than 50 workers walked out on their jobs on Black Friday. Heckuva job, unions!
