These losers commenting your video need to get off youtube and go educate themselves with how walmart rips off their employees. LIVE BETTER, WORK UNION. FOR LIFE!

I'm just surprised it has so many views. I am pro union, but this was just some BS project I did for a class over a year ago. Those opposing aren't helping their case by being close to illiterate too! Please don't take this video too seriously. It was made to get a grade.

Ha well this was my freshman year of college, so go ahead and keep hatin' if you'd like. Calling you insensitive was not an insult. It's just how I feel. Calling someone an "overweight slob" is kind of a shitty way to speak of anyone, even if you disagree with them. Nonetheless I accept your apology if it's still on the table. Let's try to make youtube a better place, eh?

I think your "underpaid at Walmart" arguement would be more convincing if you didn't use such an overweight slob as the company role model. He sure doesn't look "overworked" nor "undernourished". No wonder he's so concerned about "bathroom breaks". The glutton looks like he never stops eating, and probably spends half his "work day" on the bowl.......

Hey man, that was really insensitive. This was just a half-assed project i did for a class my freshman year. No need for name calling.

ou owe unions the eight-hour work day, and the forty-hour work week, weekends, sick days, vacation days, paid leave, maternity leave, workplace safety regulations and health standards, social security, the minimum wage, pensions, worker insurance plans and benefits, child labor laws, the retirement age, unemployment insurance, disability pay, overtime pay, laws regarding discrimination and harassment in the workplace, and the downfall of the Polish Communist Party.

get all that and u pay more for food, more for gas, more in taxes, more for everything. The trade off will be the same. Higher wages, higher prices.

at least walmart is giving these people a job. if you dont like it, quit.

Yea, go to Detroit, see how the unionization of that city and the autoworkers took it from a prosperous city, to a fucking 3rd world country now.

In non-union, you are paid on your individual work ethic which can be more or less than your peers.

In a union, your paid on youre collective work, so why work hard? Its very hard for you to get fired anyway?

Unions, responsible for the decline of American Auto Industry and that shithole we call detroit.

Coercive unions are criminal, and people that solicit/aid and abet/initiate them should be charged as such.

@GaryFreeman1987 That's the thing walmart is messed up like that i know a ton of people at the walmart i work at that have been working for about 5 years and their wage is about the same as mine and i haven't even started working at walmart longer than a year. Pretty much every one of the friends i have at walmart that are new get paid 10 dollars an hour if not more.

[GaryFreeman1987]

@Zomarik I don't know what Wal-mart you are referring to. But the Wal-mart I worked at only got me to $8.00 an hour. And that was after 2 years of working there.
