Hundreds and hundreds of Walmart workers on strike. Or maybe 50.

Hey, union dudes. Walmart ain’t Hostess. This is not some Twinkie you figure to step on. Walmart. Wal --- Mart. Got it?

“’We estimate that less than 50 associates participated in the protest nationwide. In fact, this year, roughly the same number of associates missed their scheduled shift as last year,’ Walmart U.S. Chief Executive Bill Simon said in a statement.”

And the union captain: “’Right now there are hundreds and hundreds currently on strike,’ Dan Schlademan, director of Making Change at Walmart, a campaign anchored by the UFCW, said on Friday afternoon. He said he could not provide a specific number of striking workers.”
