Employees of the online housewares giant Wayfair announced Tuesday that they would stage a walkout at the company’s Back Bay headquarters on Wednesday to protest its decision to sell furniture to the operators of facilities for migrant children detained at the southern US border.
Last Wednesday, they learned that a $200,000 order of bedroom furniture had been placed by BCFS, a government contractor that has been managing camps at the border. More than 500 employees signed a letter of protest sent to company executives. When the company refused to change course, employees organized the walkout.
“Knowing what’s going on at the southern border and knowing that Wayfair

So in protest, the Wayfair employees propose denying the migrant children beds?!? Wow, what a way to demonstrate compassion to the very people whose detainment they find appalling...

If they don't show up for work, they don't get paid and they don't need to come back.

Their right to walk out, but WayFairs right to fire them, which I hope they do.

so - they are protesting given comfort to folks at the border? Wonder if those protesting will invite them to their house to sleep in their guest bedrooms and eat the food they won’t be getting a paycheck to buy?

Big mistake Wayfair! You let them organize a walkout and don't fire those who participate. Guess what will happen now. They will stage a walkout every time they're upset about something at work. You just gave them the power to call the shots! Dumb move on your part! Also, as a Customer I don't particularly care for you getting involved in the Border Patrol's business. Your Employees should not have any say in what happens there. So, I will have to think long and hard before buying from you in the future! I have a feeling I'm not alone!

So, you would rather the immigrants sleep on dirt instead of a bed. That's real compassionate of you.

This is odd on a couple of levels. The virtue-signalling crowd who 'refuse to profit from the situation' and making it harder for the authorities to care for these people-who are only here because the very same crowd of virtue-signallers demand we do nothing about the border! Also, will Wayfair statrt to measure their angst against other customers? Will future purchasers have to fit within a code of behaviour deemed acceptabl;e by these disgruntled few? Anyway yyou slice it, these people are behaving irrationally. Welcome to The Left!

The "interchangeable work force" has gotten uppity and think they're more special than they really are.

These kinds of "spontaneous" objections have to be coordinated by nefarious instigators who have been feeding the frenzy of irrational, anti-American, and now especially anti-Trump activities. There was a time when the FBI was on to these kinds of activities and exposed and forwarded these types for prosecution. Do we still have people in the FBI who investigate anti-American activities or is that agency so corrupted that they have become part of the anti-American culture that is dominating the Left/Democrat/Liberals in this country? These people must be crushed, exposed, and made examples of by every means available, because they are a cancer we have to defeat at all costs because to do nothing is to allow our nation to self-destruct.

Hopefully, Wayfair goes old school on their disgruntled employees, and there'll be a lot of job openings tomorrow. Having a job is not an entitlement and these employees need to get educated.

Wayfair can always hire new employees to replace these chickens who think they run the chicken coop.
