wool is in

We're not a union, we're just a bunch of disgruntled employees who have gathered together for a common purpose.
Searching for a voice in their work lives, employees of some central Florida Wal-Mart stores have formed a workers group to collectively air complaints about what they claim is shoddy treatment by the retail giant.

About 250 employees and former employees from 40 central Florida stores have joined the fledgling Wal-Mart Workers Association, spurred by what they say is a reduction of hours and schedule changes recently that might jeopardize health care benefits for some. Organizers say the word-of-mouth campaign is attracting 15 to 20 new members every week.
250 employees is about .27 percent of Wal-Mart's Florida workforce. But .27 percent ain't zero. Wal-Mart must be slipping.
