DUARTE (KTLA) -
Walmart workers upset over an early start to holiday shopping — and having to work on Thanksgiving — are taking their message to the streets.
“They put me in a tough kind of corner,” said Chris Hinojos, who works at a Walmart in Duarte.
Walmart workers across the country say they don’t want to work on Black Friday, and have planned a walkout.
The walkout plans come on the heels of a strike at a Los Angeles area Walmart in October.
After getting word of the planned Black Friday demonstration, Walmart took legal action the week before Thanksgiving and filed a complaint that the labor union unlawfully organized picket lines and in-store flash mobs over the last six months.

I’m not a walmart employee. I have buissness of my own i would never make my employees work on thanksgiving. Walmart and sam walton and his family should be thankful for there employess. Its a shame this is how sam waltons family is conducting what is supost to be a “family store” as they say.
