Astroturf Activism: Union Member Admits Being Paid To Protest Against Walmart On Video

◼ On Black Friday, leftists organized a nationwide protests at several Walmart locations in order to try to extort union dues from the supermarket chain’s vast employee pool. Ostensibly, they were advocating for higher wages, but among the long list of the demands was their true intent – to unionize the nation’s largest employe, second only to the federal government. - SooperMexican/IJ Review

The media are portraying the latest strike as an uprising of Walmart employees, and the organizers propagate the narrative with the hashtag campaign #WalmartStrikers on Twitter. In fact, few employees actually walked off the job, and many of the protesters were union members and Occupy Wall Street layabouts.

And while leftist news outlets like the Nation try to discredit claims that protesters are professional activists instead of normal people, or Walmart employees, there’s nothing like a video of a Union member actually admitting to it to settle the debate.
