WalMart Gesture Triggers Protest

A group called Organization United for Respect (OUR) is rallying support for Walmart employees after a Walmart store in Canton, Ohio, put out tubs with a sign saying "please donate food items here so associates in need can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner." The group is asking for "likes" on the post if followers "think Walmart should pay us enough that we can afford to buy our own Thanksgiving dinners". The group has over 41,000 fans and the post has nearly 900 "likes"/IncNow. More here.

Question: Do you think the Canton WalMart store was trying to do the right thing?
