Massive Walkout is planned for all retail wireless workers on iPhone launch day. This is to protest the terrible commission structure and decline in fair treatment. You won't get in trouble if you call in. File for FMLA for stressful work environment and you are protected for an entire year for all call ins. Lets do this!

Is there going to be a hash tag created for this event? I would LOVE to see the stores do this!
Looks like that worked out well
Ok but did u really just say ‘their selves’ @ Shiela
100% agree that we MUST come together and have a walk out on iPhone launch day. Let’s face it if we want to be heard this is our opportunity! Besides Just like any other launch we won’t have any inventory in stores and we will have the worst promos. LET’S DO THIS!!
They will just let those folks go and get new ones quietly afterward, rightfully so since they are trying to sabotage the company while still expecting to keep jobs that they are paid for by the company. Why would someone on commission want to sit out on a high sales day anyways, really they would just be hurting their selves. I got the 'power to the people' thing and sympathize with low income but this is a lose lose scenario. Also, it won't hurt sales as people will want the new iPhone and best provider. So they will complain about delays if they go to a retail store but not care why they are being impacted, and they will s--- it up to get the new phone cuz everyone has to keep up with the Jones's. Most people will order them online anyways and pre-orders start tomorrow.
