Workers Strike in 20 Cities As Study Finds Walmart Can Pay More

Nationwide strikes target Walmart ahead of shareholders meeting calling for a $25,000 annual salary as a new Demos report finds Walmart can afford to do so without raising prices

It's sleazy calling the employees "associates". They are Walmart workers., and they should have some basic workers compensations for their labor.

Jessel Moore in Baltimore, why didn't you interview one of the Walmart strikers? Why?

You interviewed a Walmart yes man, and those defending Walmart, you also showed plenty of footage of strikers demonstrating.... But you didn't interview them.

This is crap 'real news'.

0:50 he basically says the people striking are still working there. tell that guy to look up the definition of a strike

As if! These people want *too much money*. I can easily survive AND further my career on <10k a year. This is the land of opportunity if you put your mind to it you can be anything, and if you aren't then you're just lazy.

Fuck Walmart. We got a bag full of change stuffed down our throats in both 2008 and 2012, yet the only change has been their steadily increasing revenues and stock index. Paid for on the backs of an ever-reliant workforce. They run our establishment, in and out. Why the hell would they feel responsible for growing poverty? Its all bout dat paper boii
