Well the -- among -- braving the post Thanksgiving shopping Odyssey known as Black Friday.
May have a little more craziest day than -- to deal what and that's because labor organizers are picking and that day trying to make a point in front of the largest possible audience.
Chief Washington correspondent James Rosen explains.
Black Friday when nearly a third of Americans shop online -- at brick and mortar stores could prove dark indeed for the country's largest retailer Wal-Mart.
Many of the company's one point four million US employees are set to picket outside thirteen hundred Wal-Mart stores.
Following on similar actions in twelve cities last month behind it all -- our Wal-Mart.
The group loosely affiliated with the united food and commercial workers union both of which claim Wal-Mart doesn't pay enough in salary and health benefits of playing his.
Our has -- -- -- who oh wal mart's employment practices.
Are.
Through.
Colonial -- long working hours.
No job security.
To preempt the picketing Wal-Mart last Friday filed an unfair labor practices claim.
With the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB the company claims the UF CW was mounting a stealth effort to unionize wal mart's work force.
They've been trying to do organized Wal-Mart for years unsuccessfully.
Time and time again our associates concluded that no they don't need a union that they've got a good deal working at Wal-Mart.
With one Republican member and three Democrats the NLRB has spent the last few days deposing witnesses and reviewing documents and is expected to issue were rare Thanksgiving Day ruling in the Wal-Mart disputes.
Outside Los Angeles international airport the service workers international union staged a protest against a non unionized airport contractor snarling Thanksgiving travel of one of America's busiest hubs.
Becomes a 6700.

If mandatory negotiations falter at the US National Mediation Board.
And those flight attendants will walk the picket line instead of the first class on.
Organized labor is reeling from a series of really crushing defeats in Wisconsin for example.
They failed to oust governor Scott Walker and Michigan had just suffered a valid defeat this past Election Day so I think.
What you're seeing now is an effort to get.
Win on their side.
That was assuredly not cooked up by the bakers union went on strike earlier this month against hostess brands maker of twinkies and other snacks of bankruptcy judge today approved a request by the Texas based company.
To liquidate its assets meaning Shannon unemployment for some 181000 workers but does it also mean it never again any twinkies and Wonder Bread.
Wells -- affect hostess says it has received a number of lucrative offers to purchase those brand -- so there are probably twinkies.
-- -- and -- -- at least in my future I don't know about troops here here are.
