Despite the threat of a walkout by its employees, Walmart says this was its "Best Black Friday ever".
David Tovar, Vice President, Corporate Communications for the world's largest retailer released the following statement:
"The number of protests being reported by the UFCW are grossly exaggerated. It was proven last night - and again today - that the OUR Walmart group doesn't speak for the 1.3 million Walmart associates. We had our best Black Friday ever and OUR Walmart was unable to recruit more than a small number of associates to participate in these made for TV events. Press reports are now exposing what we have said all along - the large majority of protesters aren't even Walmart workers."
