You are wrong. Walmart workers are not offered the option to choose a different work schedule, and they are not paid overtime or time and a half, just regular pay (which is shit pay).

The cashier at the store where I normally shop told me that she doesn’t have a choice about her work schedule, but at least she is paid time and a half.

It really is not that simple. Don’t drink the Union kool aid so quickly.

Wal-Mart is required by federal law to pay the overtime. And for the most part they do. Is there abuse uncovered from time to time? Of course. there is in every segment.
However the company policy has been made clear. They get overtime on holidays, and even paid for holidays (under certain conditions).
