EPICTiMES reports today on an anti-Walmart demonstration that took place yesterday in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles. Fifty people who sat in the street near a Walmart were arrested. Five hundred people participated in the protest. The group calls itself OurWalmart, but it consists entirely of non-Walmart people funded by unions whose members work for WalMart's competitors.
There were some Walmart people there. Walmart said there were 15-20 Walmart employees, none of whom worked at the Chinatown store, while OurWalmart said there were 100 WalMart employees.
One wonders why those WalMart employees don't either quit and work somewhere else, or seek promotions where they are. The article says WalMart promotes
on average 430 employees daily and recruits three-quarters of its management teams from the shopfloor.
Have you been to WalMart lately? Do you know any other company that hires people of all age and ethnic groups, to the extent that WalMart does?
