I think this is less about Walmart defending its gun sales than it is their profuse terror at even the slightest hint of employee-initiated mass mobilization in support of some cause, because it potentially sets a precedent for the formal organization of their labor pool which they have worked to suppress for decades.

They should at least stop selling guns at the walmart that got shot up, just to make the employees feel better about the fact that they had to go to work the next day after a mass shooting like nothing happened.

More like you are part of the ignorance generation, a generation that takes small but certain steps towards fascism because they don't even know that this behavior is actually protected by law. You allow a company like Walmart to bully you because you're ignorant of the law and your very own right to organize, yes, on…

If older generations of workers had abided by “their house, their rules,” workers’ rights as we know them today would not exist.

“Socially active”? You’re saying that like he was inviting his neighbors over for a barbecue, not trying to organize a protest which is 100% legal and protected by federal law.

Unless I’m mistaken, he’s pretty clearly trying to say using Walmarts own server’s to undermine them without expecting any blowback was foolish. As you’ve proven, no one seems to believe he wasn’t allowed to do it. The fact that Walmart did that even though they clearly knew it was currently illegal says a lot here.

Trying to rally employees to strike actions is legally protected use of internal communications systems and company email. 

IT Manager here, actually its protected activity on our systems.  I had a 2 hour class with a corporate lawyer talking about what we can and cannot restrict on company systems. Yes there is a LOT you can cut people from, but organizing employees for action is something you have to allow.  This employee very likely has…

Your thoughtful, factual responses should have more stars.

This. I barely come here anymore because of the edgy Liberarian edge lords. 

The fact that in your country a 12 year old is given guns as a birthday present is very disturbing

He actually might, for the time being. Assuming this is protected NLRA Section 7 activity (which is very debatable but still a color able argument), Purple Communications, Inc., 361 NLRB 1050 (2014), held that employees who have been granted access to work electronic communication methods (mainly e-mail, but Slack…

For the time being, employees actually can use employer servers to plan strikes. Assuming this is protected NLRA Section 7 activity (which is very debatable but still a color able argument), Purple Communications, Inc., 361 NLRB 1050 (2014), held that employees who have been granted access to work electronic…

Walmart is a company that has always placed its associates and customers first

If you’re giving 12 year old kids guns. You’re part of the problem. Eat one. 

I see a lot of folks on here arguing that mermaids aren’t real but are you SURE these idjits know that? I seem to recall they had to put a disclaimer at the end of that fake mermaid “documentary” because so many window lickers took it for true,probably the same 7% that believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

A lot of those twitter accounts are fake or hacked. Look into them. Look how long their accounts have been around and what they post.  I think this is a fake trend, started by an even tinier group than it appears.

I’m just mad that this will be yet another version of TLM where she’s not in constant, horrible pain whenever she’s got feet.
