The nation's largest private employer had its first strike on Black Friday November 23rd as 28 Wal-Mart stores in 12 states went on strike. Protesting low wages, underemployment, lack of benefits, dangerous working conditions, sexual harrassment and company retaliation against  workers attempting to unionize or even speak out, rank and file workers  were joined by labor activists including members of the Occupy-Affiliated Labor Outreach Committee and Ninety-Nine Pickets.
The many actions of the day included a picket in the city of Paramount, California that drew over 1500 demonstrators and included a civil disobedience action in which several were arrested.
