To: Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO

Walmart CEO Should Work On Thanksgiving Too

As the CEO of Walmart, it is ultimately your decision when Walmart stores open for Black Friday sales. And since you have decided that Walmart will open for Black Friday at 6pm on Thanksgiving, we are asking that you leave your friends and family and show up to work in a Walmart. If opening on Thanksgiving is so important to Walmart's bottom line you should show up to work alongside your employees.

Why is this important?

Black Friday has gotten out of control. Every year we hear stories of people injured in a stampede and camping out for days before a sale. This year, Black Friday is creeping into Thanksgiving, with big corporations like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy opening on Thanksgiving evening. You can be sure the CEOs of these big corporations are home with their families, why are they making the lowest paid workers miss the holiday? Sign New Jersey Citizen Action's petition to demand Walmart CEO Doug McMillon show up to work at a Walmart on Thanksgiving day. It's only fair.
