Walmart Black Friday Walk-out

Walmart is known for selling their products at a low and affordable rate.  We might think that benefits us.  But what we don't know is that maybe our neighbor, friend, or family member who works for Walmart is in major crisis when it comes to paying their monthly bills.  On black friday, Walmarts all over the country lacked employees due to walk-outs.  Emlpoyees are unhappy with their minimum wage profit.  Apparently, Walmart's low-wage business model helps it provide bargain prices that low-income Americans rely on.  However, did you know that Walmart workers as a whole  use $2.66 billion annually in food stamps, Medicaid, and other government assistance.  I know when my dad was laid off, we had enough to provide for ourselves and have money to spare.  But these employees have to ask help form the government and they have jobs.  In Bentonville Behemoth  where a major protest took place, many Walmart employees walked out to let Walmart know they were unhappy with their incomes.  I believe the workers should be paid more considering all the struggles they been through.  The right below here tells a story of Walmart employees actually wanting to work full time and earn the money they deserve.  To me, if people volunteer to work more hours, they should get the opportunity to do so.  Even if means that Walmart has to start raising their product's prices because it is unfair for all the employees.  My source is: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/12/04/will-wal-mart-shippers-join-labor-protests.aspx
