In reply to the discussion: The BEST Wal-Mart Black Friday strike/protest in the country: Paramount, CA (*PIC HEAVY*) [View all]HiPointDem
(20,729 posts)46. yes, i understand that such events brings the issues into the open, gives
hope/ideas/etc to the workers, etc. i thought that was clear, but maybe not.
i also understand that if walmart learns people are interested in unionization, they're likely to get fired -- but that was also the case when organizers were building the first union movements, nothing new about it. that's the case in latin america today, where organizers and sympathizers are murdered. yet people persevered and did the hard, dangerous work.
i asked a simple question about strategy. i don't see any reason that it's 'not my concern'.

Is that why the police arrested them? Because they told others something?
