WalMart executives are freaking out over lousy sales, according to this article in Business Insider. After a disastrous January, one WalMart exec wrote in an email that February sales so far are a "total disaster," according to a Bloomberg news story.
“In case you haven’t seen a sales report these days, February MTD sales are a total disaster,” Jerry Murray, WalMart’s vice president of finance and logistics, said in a Feb. 12 e-mail to other executives, referring to month-to-date sales. “The worst start to a month I have seen in my ~7 years with the company.”

Please Pledge To Boycott Walmart This Black Friday!
It’s time to support Walmart workers who are fighting for an economy that works for all of us – let’s support their strike this Black Friday by not crossing the picket line.

CEO: Wal-Mart Shoppers 'Running Out Of Money'

(572 Obama-dumping days until 2012 election-Hugh's Obama's Scandals List)
The Related Companies, housed in New York City's Time Warner Building, is in talks to lease Walmart space to build their first store in New York City. Anti-employee Walmart is reported to be intending to followup with 100 more. The performing flash mob did a good job expressing protest over New Yorkers not getting any say in this!

Workers said the number of participants was about 200, or nearly all of the people on the shift.
