I worked a few years for Wal*Mart as a Support Manager (I was in charge of the overnight stocking crew) and would often use the phone p.a. system every night (to announce when it was "lunch time, break time, etc.). It's a simple 3 button code that has to be dialed on any of the store's phones and anyone who knew the code could make such an announcement.

I've heard some speculation that this particular case could have been done by some pro-union guy (Wal*Mart is famous for its anti-union stance) trying to embarrass the chain.
