Walmart workers walked off the job in Dallas, Seattle, the San Francisco Bay area, Miami, the Washington, D.C., area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Chicago and Orlando. Hopefully this spreads and they form a union!
Unions are the most effective tool that the middle class can use to fight against the ruling class. By organizing and using power to create laws which force the wealthy to give up some of the money they've made through the exploitation of workers, the middle class and the lower classes can become more influential and enjoy a better standard of living. Hopefully unions will become more powerful in years to come. Currently they are outspent by corporate interests at a rate of nine-to-one!
