Idiots

From the Chicago Tribune: Hundreds of protesters, including some Walmart workers who skipped their shifts on the retail industry's busiest day, spoke, chanted and sang outside of Walmart stores around the United States, making pleas for higher wages and better healthcare for Walmart hourly workers.
In Chicago, 10 people protesting at a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2844 N. Broadway, were cited after they blocked the street about 9:40 a.m. as part of their protest, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.
Before the arrests, Protesters at the Lakeview store likened their work for higher wages to the Civil Rights movement.
"I'm standing out here in the 2000s, to make sure we're going to get justice, make sure we don't get bamboozled and make sure we have a living wage before this is all over with," said Myron Byrd, a Wal-Mart employee, before he was taken into custody by police.
OUR Walmart, an organization backed by the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) union, said it counted 1,000 protests in 46 U.S. states, including strikes in 100 cities — figures that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said were "grossly exaggerated."
There was no evidence that such activity disrupted what appeared to be a strong start for Wal-Mart Stores to the crucial holiday shopping season.
The arrest of nine people in Paramount, Calif., who told law enforcement they intended to be arrested, occurred at around noon, well after the rush of specials that kicked off at 8 p.m. the night before and culminated with a 5 a.m. round of deals on "Black Friday," the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season.
Nine people, who refused to leave the street, were peacefully arrested for refusal to disperse, said Captain Mike Parker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Three of those arrested were striking Walmart workers, OUR Walmart said.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-dozens-arrested-in-walmart-protests-nationwide-10-in-chicago-20131129,0,2271400.story
To Myron Byrd, a soon to be former Wal-Mart employee, you are an idiot.  First, no one forces you to work at Wal-Mart and this is not a civil rights issue.
You are free to work else where, and probably, this will soon be the case.
I just wonder why the dues paying UFCW members are paying their dues to fight a losing cause?  Wal-Mart will never be unionized and if some miracle they are unionized, it won't be with the UFCW.
So, the UFCW is scamming the likes of soon to be unemployed Myron Byrd and it's dues paying members.
But I guess there are suckers like Byrd and the dues paying members of the UFCW out there to be scammed.
All I can say is "Suckers!".
But Wal-Mart gets the last laugh: For its part, Walmart said it recorded its best Black Friday events ever, with more shoppers than last year and nearly 10 million register transactions between 8 p.m. Thursday and 12 a.m. Friday. It said it sold more than 1.8 million towels, 1.3 million TVs and some 250,000 bicycles.
