The strike by Walmart employees is way overdue. the working conditions in China are horrific. they barley get payed anything and spend their entire lives working with barley any days off. the employees in the stores dont get good benefits for all the work they do. they have awful health insurance and depend on the state governments for aid to get health insurance for their kids and families. Walmart is then getting all the money that they dont give their employees for proper health benefits and keeping it. they have many law suits against them and had to pay like $4 million back to employees. hopefully the strike will force Walmart to change its ways so that their employees have good things to say about working there. If the employees dont all walk out as planned it will be very dissapointing because walmart will have to fire those few people who did and the rest will still continue to struggle to make ends meet which is very sad. if more awareness is raised about the issue hopefully the people who are able to choose where they shop will not choose Walmart. i know i wont be.
