This hasn't made the headlines, but apparently Wal-mart workers in several cities have been going on S the past few days and now there is apparently a massive underground movement going on with wal-mart employees in various stores to S on black friday. This could get interesting.... ABC News has video of a pretty angry looking group of Wal-mart workers protesting.

"The latest news in the Walmart labor protests -- which have included walkouts and marches in Dallas, San Diego, Chicago and Los Angeles -- is the threat of a S on Black Friday. That's the day after Thanksgiving, widely considered the busiest, and most lucrative, retail day of the year.
Some 200 angry protesters showed up at a meeting of investors and analysts earlier Wednesday at Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. Under discussion at the meeting was Walmart's intent to go head-to-head with Amazon and offer same-day delivery.
It was the first-ever employee walk-out in the company's 50-year history, said Dawn Le, a spokeswoman for Making Change at Walmart, a coalition whose mission is to change the way Walmart conducts business."
