What was once just an early start on holiday shopping now means workers are forced to skip Thanksgiving dinner. This has gone too far.
Walmart and Toys R Us are starting their sales at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Traditionally, sales have started closer to midnight. The earlier start means thousands of workers will be forced to skip Thanksgiving dinner to cover shifts for low wages. Many Walmart employees are protesting, but protesting Walmart is a tricky thing to do. CBS tells the story of a man who had his hours cut after joining a group of Walmart employees who favor unionizing. Without a steady income, the man lost custody of his son.
