Wave Of Black Friday Protests Expected To Flood Walmarts Next Week
Walmart workers are planning protests at well over a thousand stores across the nation next week on Black Friday, Nov. 28, the busiest shopping day of the year.
Walmart workers are planning protests at well over a thousand stores across the nation next week on Black Friday, Nov. 28, the busiest shopping day of the year.
By James Raines
The national wave of protests, which could be the biggest yet to hit the giant retailer, comes on the heels of last week's first sit down strikes in Walmart's history. Some 23 workers were arrested last week during those strikes in Los Angeles.
One of the workers arrested, giving just her first name, Denise, said she has worked for Walmart for the past eight years despite having been "harassed and intimidated all the time." She proudly said the reason she took direct action and arrest is that she wanted, "to be part of history." She wanted to be, "one of the first to stand up to Walmart by sitting down."
Tiffany, a four-year Walmart veteran, travelled from Sacramento to participate in last Thursday's direct action. "Everyone was very supportive: more than one associate said, 'Thank you for what you are doing.'" Store management was apparently caught completely off guard to see protesters peacefully sitting inside the store, but "they were not aggressive or mean to us," Tiffany said. On the contrary, she noted, "I think they really understood what we were doing."
Chuckling slightly, Denise said that "a lot of workers just stared at us: they were in shock." Given Walmart's history of intimidation, bullying, and harassment of front line workers, for many it was an act of bravery even to give the protesters a thumbs up. Denise recalled the broad support they received: "Even customers said, 'We support you, we support you, keep it up.'" Her voice swelled with emotion as she recalled: "I wanted to cry, but I kept my composure."
Walmart workers like Denise and Tiffany, organized under the Our Walmart banner, are fighting for $15 an hour and full-time work. The average associate, says Tiffany, is fed up "living paycheck to paycheck [while] working for the wealthiest company in the world." Last year alone, Walmart reported $129 billion in profits.
Supported by the United Food and Commercial Workers, Our Walmart's primary demand is for respect on the job. On November 28, Black Friday, Walmart workers expect that their fight for dignity and fair wages will be on the national stage. Protests and direct actions are planned at 1,600 Walmart locations nationwide.
Although specifics are not being given away by organizers, it appears that the days of protesting only outside the stores are over. From now on action that takes place inside the stores seems to be the way many workers want to go.
Darlene Macleod, UFCW 2's Director of Organizing in Kansas City, says that on Black Friday the goal is to raise awareness about the working conditions "within the walls of Walmart. What we want to do is to reach working America: we are not against [someone] getting a television for $200 less, we are against Walmart paying people $6,000 less a year than they need to live on."
Citing the fact that it is the public who subsidizes Walmart's profitability by providing public assistance to Walmart workers who cannot otherwise make ends meet, Macleod said, "Once the public becomes aware of this, Walmart loses their edge." Referring to Walmart's corporate logo, Macleod said: "A yellow smiley face only goes so far."
Cautious of alerting the retail giant of their plans for Black Friday, Our Walmart remains understandably vague on the details of their plan for Black Friday. Rumors of increased direct action abound, including shutting down key intersections in major U.S. cities on the busiest shopping day of the year. What is certain is that the bravery shown by 23 Walmart workers in Los Angeles last week marks an escalation in the fight of 1.4 million American workers for a living wage, and for respect.

It is inconceivable to the United States that a "rag-tag" force like Yemen's Houthis might, with home-made weapons, outdo the hundred-billion-dollar might and sophistication of the state-of-the-art systems Washington has lavished upon the Saudis.
The West has more to do with the Hong Kong protest movement than it would like us to know. It's the ugly face of Washington's long-standing foreign policy directed at destabilizing one of its long-standing economic foes: China.
The same media that has spent years dragging Assange's name through the mud is now engaging in a blackout on his treatment. If you are waiting for corporate media pundits to defend freedom of the press, you're going to be disappointed.

Opera Coaching: Professional Techniques for the Répétiteur, Second Edition, is an update to the first practical guide designed to help opera singers meet the physical and vocal demands of a score in order to shape a performance. Opera coaching remains a mystery to many musicians. While an opera coach (or répétiteur) is principally tasked with ensuring singers sing the right notes and words, the coach's purview extends well beyond pitches and pronunciation. The opera coach must have a full understanding of human physiognomy and the human voice, as well as a knowledge of the many languages used in Western vocal music and over four centuries of opera repertoire—all to recognize what must happen for success when a singer steps on stage.
NEW to this second edition:
Modern singers have bemoaned the scarcity of good vocal coaches and conductors, of those who understand voices and repertoire alike. Opera Coaching: Professional Techniques for the Répétiteur, Second Edition, demystifies the role of the opera coach, outlining the obstacles facing both the opera singer and the coach who seeks to realize the performer's full potential.

Not at my store. We haven't had any call buttons in electronics in about 3 years.my department rarely gets calls but I overheard a manager saying they dont rid of the scoring system for call buttons anymore
im a senior, the call button has been my source of my panic attack if i dont get there on the second call. managers used to coach people who dont call out or attempt to get to it. Nowadays, the newbies dont even bother going to the call button or dont run to it.Whether or not the metric is there it's still important to get to the guest in a timely fashion
While I agree with this, the circumstances at my store make it very difficult to consistently answer calls in 60 seconds or less. We have a Toys R Us and a Walmart in our shopping center that closed in the last 6 months. That's a lot of extra guests that need help.Whether or not the metric is there it's still important to get to the guest in a timely fashion
Oh no not service level exceeded... WHO IS RESPONDINGSo now we back to the classic "3rd request Saturdays" just in time for Q4.
I don't mind the electronics call boxes. Yeah, they go off a lot because we have one electronics TM scheduled and he's doing phones. But, 95% of the time it's just someone who wants a video game. It's the calls elsewhere in the store where you get the real knuckle draggers. Answered one today where a guest had a question about vacuums. Apparently, she purchased a particular vacuum on clearance last week. She wanted another of the exact same model. We didn't have anymore. This was not a satisfactory answer because there were definitely more when she bought the one. Well, ok they are go. However, Target is offering a sale on that vacuum right not. Yes, it's more than the clearance price. No, we don't have any of that model in stock. Yes, the closest other Target does have it at the sale price. No, they won't sell it to you for the clearance price you got here last week. I really don't know why it was on clearance here last week and isn't at every other Target in the country right now. Yes, I can call the other store and ask them if they will put it on hold for you. Sorry, no, I can't make them pick up the phone. They must be very busy. Yes, you can order that vacuum online. Guest services can help you with that. No, you can't get it online for last week's clearance price.The electronics Indyme goes off 1000x more than all the other buttons combined. You would think that this might be a huge clue for the schedule makers that more than 0.001 TMs ought to be scheduled over there. We had 4 electronics TMs for about a week until the DTL noticed and bitched that it was sapping payroll from MUH SOFTLINES, so the hours plummeted again and the newbies quit. So now we back to the classic "3rd request Saturdays" just in time for Q4.
Why thank you, I aimed to exceed service levels at all times when I worked for spot! /sOh no not service level exceeded... WHO IS RESPONDING
Great idea. We have some tm that backup 20 times in a shift, some never. Better to use the grid, call The next team member on the list, one at a time. They need to answer WHY they are not backing up, call them again next time if they say no. Everyone can hear who says no ten times in a row. we used to sign up for 30 min extra coverage shifts each but that was too much to keep track of.Since our remodel they STILL haven't fixed the call-box errors. They aren't coded properly. We hear on the walkies "Just so you know, infants isn't infants, go to [name dept] " *face palm* We have a major ignore problem in our store. Selective hard of hearing. Maddening. I don't want to ignore them but seriously I'd be the only one picking up phones, answering call boxes, and going to the FLs. And they happily take advantage of it but on the other hand, I don't want to be on the TL's shit list.
So I just go get the dang call/go up front. THEN, and this is what made one of our new hires snap, when the volunteer knows the game and reluctantly repeats his/her service, they fall behind on work/zone and get the look from TLs who forget we just got stuck at FLs for 45 mins. Soooo I say put our names on a list and call us one by one for back ups. We all do our time. It sucks but hey we're paid to work. And this will distribute the work flow more evenly so not one person is behind looking negligent.
Or like get the fucking etl to go up. They just sit their ass all day in the office playing games on their phone.My "like nails on a chalkboard" moment is : backup cashier needed. "WHO IS RESPONDING ?" Every time 'who is responding ?.....'who is responding..... who is responding? Aaaarrrggg. !!!!! Just call someone off the grid and make them go already ! If not then the same people will respond ALL the time cause all others are ignoring you waiting for the SAME person to respond ALL the time !! 🤯
Unless they are hearing impaired and do not own a hearing aid. Then you can call them but you will never get a response!Great idea. We have some tm that backup 20 times in a shift, some never. Better to use the grid, call The next team member on the list, one at a time. They need to answer WHY they are not backing up, call them again next time if they say no. Everyone can hear who says no ten times in a row. we used to sign up for 30 min extra coverage shifts each but that was too much to keep track of.
Yes, it's a guest. If you aren't signed into the phone app, it shouldn't ring.Seasonal opu/ship idiot here. They hired me three weeks ago and I have no idea what to say if my Zebra rings. The person who tried to "train" me said to ignore it. Is it really a fucking guest??????

House Fallingwater Frank Lloyd Wright 3D model
With your purchase you receive the 3D building model of the Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater as DAE, 3DS, C4D and SKP for immediate download. (see details)
Fallingwater is a famous private residence in Pennsylvania, USA. It was constructed between 1935 and 1937 by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Fallingwater is one of the most well-known buildings in the US. The house was commissioned by its owner, the founder of Kaufmann's Department Store chain, Edgar J. Kaufmann.
Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a weekend home for the family of Liliane Kaufmann and her husband, Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., owner of Kaufmann's Department Store.
After its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's most beautiful job,[5] and it is listed among Smithsonian's Life List of 28 places to visit before you die.[6] The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.[3] In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named Fallingwater the best all-time work of American architecture and in 2007, it was ranked 29th on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.
Fallingwater, as seen from Bear Run At age 67, Frank Lloyd Wright was given the opportunity to design and construct three buildings. With his three works of the late 1930s—Fallingwater; the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin; and the Herbert Jacobs house in Madison, Wisconsin—Wright regained his prominence in the architectural community
The Kaufmanns Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. was a Pittsburgh businessman and president of Kaufmann's Department Store. Edgar and Liliane's only child, Edgar Kaufmann Jr., eventually became the catalyst for his father's relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright
In the summer of 1934, Edgar Jr. read Frank Lloyd Wright's An Autobiography (1932), and traveled to meet Wright at his home in Wisconsin in late September. Within three weeks, Edgar Jr. began an apprenticeship at the Taliesin Fellowship, a communal architecture program established in 1932 by Wright and his wife, Olgivanna. It was during a visit with Edgar Jr. at Taliesin in November 1934 that Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann first met Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Kaufmanns lived in La Tourelle, a French Norman estate in Fox Chapel designed in 1923 for Edgar J. Kaufmann by Pittsburgh architect Benno Janssen. However, the family also owned a remote property outside Pittsburgh — a small cabin near a waterfall — which was used as a summer retreat. When these cabins deteriorated, Mr. Kaufmann contacted Wright.
On December 18, 1934, Wright visited Bear Run and asked for a survey of the area around the waterfall.[11] One was prepared by Fayette Engineering Company of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, including all the site's boulders, trees, and topography, and forwarded to Wright in March 1935.
Construction As reported by Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentices at Taliesin, Edgar Kaufmann Sr. was in Milwaukee on September 22, nine months after their initial meeting, and called Wright at home early Sunday morning to surprise him with the news that he would be visiting Wright that day. Kaufmann could not wait to see Wright's plans. Wright had told Kaufmann in earlier communication that he had been working on the plans, but had not actually drawn anything. After breakfast that morning, amid a group of very nervous apprentices, Wright calmly drew the plans in the two hours in which it took Kaufmann to drive to Taliesin.
Wright designed the home above the waterfall, rather than below to afford a view of the cascades as Kaufmann had expected. It has been said that Kaufmann was initially very upset that Wright had designed the house to sit atop the falls. Kaufmann had wanted the house located on the southern bank of Bear Run, directly facing the falls. He told Wright that they were his favorite aspect of the property.
The Kaufmanns planned to entertain large groups of people, so the house needed to be larger than the original plot allowed. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmann requested separate bedrooms, as well as a bedroom for their adult son, and an additional guest room, for a total of four bedrooms.
A cantilevered structure was used to address these requests. The structural design for Fallingwater was undertaken by Wright in association with staff engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters, who had been responsible for the columns featured in Wright's revolutionary design for the Johnson Wax Headquarters.
Preliminary plans were issued to Kaufmann for approval on October 15, 1935, after which Wright made an additional visit to the site and provided a cost estimate for the job. In December 1935, an old rock quarry was reopened to the west of the site to provide the stones needed for the house's walls. Wright visited only periodically during construction, assigning his apprentice Robert Mosher as his permanent on-site representative. The final working drawings were issued by Wright in March 1936, with work beginning on the bridge and main house in April.
The strong horizontal and vertical lines are a distinctive feature of Fallingwater The construction was plagued by conflicts between Wright, Kaufmann and the construction contractor. Uncomfortable with what he saw as Wright's insufficient experience using reinforced concrete, Kaufmann had the architect's daring cantilever design reviewed by a firm of consulting engineers. Upon receiving their report, Wright took offense, immediately requesting that Kaufmann return his drawings and indicating that he was withdrawing from the project. Kaufmann relented to Wright's gambit, and the engineer's report was subsequently buried within a stone wall of the house.
For the cantilevered floors, Wright and his team used upside-down T-shaped beams integrated into a monolithic concrete slab which formed both the ceiling of the space below and provided resistance against compression. The contractor, Walter Hall, also an engineer, produced independent computations and argued for increasing the reinforcing steel in the first floor's slab. Wright refused the suggestion. While some sources state that the contractor quietly doubled the amount of reinforcement, others say that Kaufmann's consulting engineers – at Kaufman's request – redrew Wright's reinforcing drawings and doubled the amount of steel specified by Wright.
In addition, the contractor did not build in a slight upward incline in the formwork for the cantilever to compensate for the settling and deflection of the cantilever. Once the concrete formwork was removed, the cantilever developed a noticeable sag. Upon learning of the unapproved steel addition, Wright recalled Mosher.
With Kaufmann's approval, the consulting engineers arranged for the contractor to install a supporting wall under the main supporting beam for the west terrace. When Wright discovered it on a site visit, he had Mosher discreetly remove the top course of stones. When Kaufmann later confessed to what had been done, Wright showed him what Mosher had done and pointed out that the cantilever had held up for the past month under test loads without the wall's support.
The main house was completed in 1938, and the guest house was completed the following year.
Cost The original estimated cost for building Fallingwater was $35,000. The final cost for the home and guest house was $155,000,[21][22][23] which included $75,000 for the house; $22,000 for finishings and furnishings; $50,000 for the guest house, garage and servants' quarters; and an $8,000 architect's fee. From 1938 through 1941, more than $22,000 was spent on additional details and for changes in the hardware and lighting.
The total cost of $155,000, adjusted for inflation, is equivalent to about $2.7 million in 2017. The cost of the house's restoration in 2001 was estimated to be $11.5 million (approximately $15.9 million in 2017).[25]
Usage Fallingwater was the family's weekend home from 1937 until 1963, when Edgar Kaufmann Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. The family retreated at Fallingwater on weekends to escape the heat and smoke of industrial Pittsburgh. Liliane enjoyed swimming in the nude and collecting modern art, especially the works of Diego Rivera, who was a guest at the country house.
Kaufmann Jr. said, "[Wright] understood that people were creatures of nature, hence an architecture which conformed to nature would conform to what was basic in people. For example, although all of Falling Water [sic] is opened by broad bands of windows, people inside are sheltered as in a deep cave, secure in the sense of the hill behind them.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — After many of New Zealand's top players retired, moved overseas or turned their focus to sevens after last year's Rugby World Cup victory, many thought the dominance by the country's teams in Super Rugby would end.
Richie McCaw had called an end to his prolific career. Daniel Carter relocated to France to play for the club Racing 92. Sonny Bill Williams suited up for the All Black Sevens, intent on winning Olympic gold this summer.
But it has been far from a decline this season for New Zealand's five Super Rugby franchises — the Blues (Auckland), Chiefs (Hamilton), Crusaders (Christchurch), Highlanders (Dunedin) and Hurricanes (Wellington). Heading into the final round of games before a hiatus for June's international tests, New Zealand teams occupy four of the eight playoff spots. This, even though the New Zealand conference is the most competitive of all.
Under the new system, the winners of the Australia, New Zealand, South Africa 1 and South Africa 2 conferences all qualify for the playoffs and get home-field advantage for the quarterfinals. Three of the wild card spots go to the next best three teams in Australia or New Zealand, and the other goes to one from the South African group.
It means that a few New Zealand teams could finish with more points than conference winners in South Africa or Australia but would still have to play on the road in the playoffs — an important factor, considering they would have to travel 7,000 miles to get to South Africa.
With four rounds to go — three will be played after the June international window — the Chiefs lead the competition with 42 points, while the Crusaders (41), Highlanders (37) and Hurricanes (36) occupy the Australasian Group wild card spots.
The Waratahs (30 points) lead the Australia conference, while the Lions (37) and the Bulls (32) lead their South African conferences, with the Sharks (35) as the wild card.
The dominance of the New Zealand teams is highlighted by their success against the other conferences. In 19 matches between New Zealand and Australian teams, the New Zealanders have won 16, lost 2 and had 1 draw.
In 18 matches between New Zealand and the South Africa 2 teams, New Zealand teams have won 14 and lost 4, while the Australian teams have won 10 and lost 5 against South Africa 1 foes.
New Zealand teams are envied for their ability to promote young talent year after year, without a drop in their standard of play, and 2016 has been no exception. Flyhalf Richie Mo'unga, who had the unenviable task of stepping into Carter's shoes at the Crusaders, has earned plaudits for his assuredness and creativity in the key playmaking role. Utility back Damian McKenzie is earning rave reviews at the Chiefs for his thrilling attacking play, while the Highlanders' versatile loose forward Luke Whitelock has impressed his coach, Jamie Joseph, so much that he believes the player has done enough to earn a recall to the national team, the All Blacks.
Even the inconsistent Hurricanes and New Zealand's worst-performing team, the Blues, have mixed the bad with moments of brilliance.
New Zealand's derby matches are producing physical, high-intensity and smooth-flowing play that has been a cut above what the other teams are showcasing on a regular basis.
The up-and-down performance of the Australian teams does not worry Michael Cheika, the coach of the Australian national team, as he prepares for a three-test series against England, the Six Nations champion.
"I know that we're not the best- performing conference in Super Rugby. But I don't think that we ever claimed we were the best-performing conference in Super Rugby," Cheika said. "Maybe we're not top in the conferences, but I know once we decide what's necessary to be at our best for those games against England, the lads will go for it."
The Waratahs have one fewer win but more try-scoring bonus points than the Brumbies, whose attack has faltered after a promising start. The race for the Australian conference crown will most likely come down to these two teams, although the loser will need to win most, if not all, of their remaining games to dislodge one of the New Zealand teams from a wild-card spot.
The South African conferences have the greatest disparity, with the Bulls, Stormers, Lions and Sharks a class above the Cheetahs and the competition's newest teams, the Jaguares of Argentine, the Sunwolves of Japan and the Southern Kings of South Africa.
Of those, the Jaguares have been the most disappointing. Their demanding travel schedule is clearly taking its toll on the expansion franchise, but two wins in 11 matches is not a good return for a roster stacked with international players.
The Sunwolves and Kings have struggled after a chaotic buildup to the start of the season.
The Japanese team is showing some ability on attack and could have added to its lone victory against the Jaguares with better decision-making in tight matches. It drew with the Stormers and lost several other games by just a handful of points, but it also suffered a 92-17 thumping at the hands of the Cheetahs.
The hapless Kings have just four competition points and have suffered some heavy defeats, including a 73-27 loss against the Jaguares, and have scored 190 while giving up a competition-worst 505 points for a point differential of minus 315. The next closest team is the Sunwolves, at minus 170.

Supporting our Food Businesses
In this section businesses will find information on how WRS can help support you to trade well and fairly as part of Better Business for All . Please see drop down boxes for range of services we offer.
BBfA is a government led initiative (www.gov.uk) to bring together regulators and business leaders to consider and change how local regulation is delivered and received and remove barriers to growth. Often linked with Local Enterprise Partnerships (Worcestershire LEP) and Growth Hubs (Growth Hub-Business Central).
In 2016 Worcestershire Regulatory Services received the first ever BBfA Award for Innovation for working with Bangladeshi community leaders to provide a series of highly visual courses delivering a tailored programme of food and health and safety training to catering businesses both in the county and further afield.
For those running a food business, whether new or existing, WRS can offer you a food safety advice package to help you achieve a high level of compliance. The charge is £140 + VAT for 2 hours with a written report of recommendations, with an hourly rate of £60 for further work.
You will not receive a food safety inspection from an officer with whom you have worked to develop your business.
Please follow this link to our export certificates page.
Safety Advice for Mobile Food Stalls and Vehicles
This WRS guide provides further information: Food Hygiene and Safety at Food Stalls and Marquees
Outdoor food events are growing in popularity and there are many mobile traders who regularly travel to markets, major shows and music festivals. Many small businesses now choose to attend a range of events both locally and further afield, either by renting a stall or using their own mobile vehicle.
Whether you are a business or an event organiser the above guide will provide you with information on what you need to do to ensure that food and drink served at a market stall, mobile trailer or tented structure in Worcestershire is safe for your customers.
For those who trade outside the county please be aware that other Local Authorities may have additional requirements to be met.
We do not visit all events but a number are checked during the year. Whether to visit is based on the potential risk, particularly size of event, whether it is new or well established and the number of visitors. WRS food officers are happy to work with event organisers pre-event and often call in a list of food and drink providers attending your event.
One Off Events
Small one off events, eg school fetes or fund raising barbecues are likely to be exempt from food registration but we strongly recommend you take the guidance into account to minimise risk of food poisoning. An outbreak of illness would lead to an investigation of how the organisers have controlled food safety. If volunteers are preparing food at home you should be giving advice to help them do it safely.
Please follow this link to our Healthier Choices Scheme web page.
Please see our Primary Authority web page
We can put together tailored packages for your business on food issues including food hygiene, allergens and nutrition. Cost will vary depending on your requirements but our standard day rate is £450 + VAT + expenses for two officers to deliver a training day. Any additional costs will be separately quoted based on an hourly rate of £70.
