Some angry Walmart employees could put the upcoming holiday shopping season in jeopardy.

Workers at 28 stores across the country walked off the job earlier this week. Now, they're threatening a walkout on Black Friday.

The associates said they want better pay, benefits and want the company to stop pushing out workers who want to unionize.

If workers walkout on Black Friday, experts said it would be a $312 million hit.

Company managers said most of their 1.4 million American workers are very happy and only a few thousand at most are threatening to walk.
