Black Friday Shopping Reminder: F*** Walmart, and the gravy train they rode in on.
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/black-friday-shopping-reminder-f-walmart-and-the-gravy-train-they-rode-in-on/Lots more at the link, including info on ethical retailers who are more deserving of your custom.
"No matter how big a motherf***er you are, sometimes you’ll have to pay for what you’ve done to all those mothers. Even Walmart’s CEO has to account for his abuse of that company’s “associates”. Mr. Duke was forced out after the National Labor Relations Board announced its intention to prosecute the company for crapping on its workers.
Walmart, you see, really hates the idea of unions. Or anything that might increase labor costs, like, you know, paying a living wage, providing benefits, and so on. And anytime an “associate” (which sounds a lot like “oh s***”. Coincidence? Not in this case.) objects to being treated like a toad in front of bulldozer, Walmart retaliates. Even the NLRB can’t believe the crap that Wal-Mart is pulling, so they are going after the company."
