Why this petition matters
Started by Gen Knoxx
Those signing this petition pledge not to shop at Walmart on Black Friday. Many pledge not to shop at Walmart at all until working conditions/wage issues are resolved. (See the comments of each person who signs.)
Unless workers can organize, the potential for mistreatment as business conditions change is huge. A positive, well-negotiated relationship between an organized workforce and a business results in a better environment. Also, no one should have to work for less than a living wage. Some workers may chose to work part-time and that's fine, but it should be the worker's choice.
