Happy Thanksgiving!
So for this week I will be writing about an article on the LA Times. I first saw it on the news and later looked it up on line. Here is the link to the article
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/11/striking-walmart-workers-schedule-black-friday-rally-in-paramount.html
So earlier today workers and civilians rallied outside Wal Mart in Paramount, CA. A bit Southeast of Los Angeles. Here the workers rallied against working rights currently present at Wal Marts across the nation and making people work on holidays. The chain has about 1.3 million and only a few percentage of that actually walked out.
For example, this shows that the workers want change but are afraid to walk out because they are afraid of consequences if the rallies and revolts do not work. For most employees this it their only job and cannot afford to lose it even if they are unhappy working there.
