To explain: Walmart is anti-union. So much so that they will shut down a store if the employees try to unionize. Our union (Teamsters) constantly tells everyone not to shop at Walmart. So giving union employees Walmart giftcards is a pretty big "fuck you" from management. (We're also in the middle of contract negotiations right now.)
For those with no experience with unions/being unionized, this makes no sense.
