Wall-Mart Strikes

In recent news Wall-Mart workers have gone on strike in 12 different places of the country.  A total of 88 workers from 28 different stores have gone on strike about low pay and a lack of benefits. There have been a few of planed strikes and some that happened on the spot.  So far there is not any decision on whether the strikes have won or not.

Personally I think that the workers have the right to strike.

  • I do to they should not be paid minimum wage but yet have to work in a store where they might have to deal with rude people.

  • I think that the workers do have the right to strike. But they probably shouldn't ask for too much, because im sure there are a lot of people out there without jobs that would be more than happy to take their jobs, and the bosses could just fire the strikers.

     

  • Of cource they should have the right to vote when they are getting very little pay and no benifits! I hope they get the benifits they need to support their family!

  • Yeah, I agree that they should be able to go on strike! I can tell ya that if I didn't like what I was doing and didn't like the benefits I wouldn't be sitting around doing it! I would actually find a different job and say bye-bye Walmart!

  • I think that they have every right to go on strike, but really if you want a high paying job with benefits you should go to college and get a degree. I mean it's Wal-Mart what do you expect?

  • I think they can go on strike if the think they don't get enough payment. Money is a problem in our society right now, people want more and more money and some just spend it on things that aren't as important. If I had a job and didn't get enough pay that I think was fair and what I think is good, I would probably ask the manager or go on strike.

  • yes they can because if your not being treated and payed right you should say your word and go on strike.

  • People should always have a right to strike. Everyone should stand up for what they believe, and these people are doing just that. 

  • They work at Wal-Mart... But i guess they can still be getting the bad end of the stick!

  • I think that they are justified on going on strike. Workers are always entitled to good pay and benefits. If they don't think what they are getting is fair, they should do something about it.
