Is Wal-mart really facing a Black Friday Walk out?

Looks as though the worlds biggest retailer could be facing some serious trouble this Black Friday. Workers throughout the United States are claiming that they will walk out on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

This Toronto Sun article states that a class action lawsuit has been brought against Wal-mart over the way they treat their labor force. This isn't the first time they've had to settle such as suit, as they paid out over 600 million dollars approximately four years ago to make a pool of similar suits go away.

There are already been walk outs at 29 stores in 8 different states and thousands of employees are signing on to make Wal-mart's black friday sale a rough one for managers. Wal-mart is notorious for breaking up budding unions and using software to maximize employee time while shorting their staff on benefits.

With the economy suffering, its becoming clear that Wal-mart associates are getting fed up with the treatment and have no where else to go. Do you think a Black Friday walk out would change anyone's mind? Or is there enough people in need of work for this to be a non-issue?
