I hate to say this but you are right, he is a joke and i feel nothing for him, 4 years at a job and you only make 9.80 per hour and you have a kid to bring up. At certain points in life you have to look in the mirror and say i messed up and pick up your life, 9.80 per hour and 15 hrs a week leaving you with about 130 a week and you want to strike, instead find another job, security or something to bring in more funds, losing your kid should have been the deal breaker to spur him on.
The man has you guys trained real good. You guys are foot soldiers, doing the ground work so corporate barons can continue to extract our collective wealth and pride. Sentiments like yours are 100% the problem.
Something has to give.

You can't live on what they're paying these people.
That's the whole point of retail work. It was never designed to be a career. It's geared to younger ppl looking to work part time.

I don't agree with people not being able to make a wage they can live on.
I thought this was obvious.
No matter what the job, or what the cost of living is in a particular area?

Yes they should that should go without saying. Especially if the cost of living is higher.
Walmart employs too many people and makes too much money to not pay a livable wage.
I hope they get what they get what's fair.
And by fair I mean a fair wage.

And you can't just say that retail isn't supposed to be a career. That's not how life works for a lot of people. They don't aspire to work at a retail location, but they end up there. It's not a summer job or a job like McDonalds. Hell, even McDonalds workers get more than what some of these people were making. I read an articlel about a week ago that the workers in their distribution warehouse were getting $8.20 an hour.
There's nowhere in America that $8.20 is enough to survive on.

Enough money to survive. To be able to afford the basic necessities.
You can't buy groceries and pay rent on 8 bucks an hour.
Right. But it's retail. It's not designed to make sure you're making your rent. There are people with college degrees barely making rent and they aren't doing mindless work.
Don't really see your point. Are you saying they should lay down and take it because people with degrees are strugglin too?
People with degrees aren't making 8 bucks an hour.
They should try and get a better job than Walmart. They aren't holding these people hostage. Retail work can be done by anyone, there's a reason it doesn't pay well. If you are depending on a retail job to pay your bills you're delusional.
