   Isn’t that like asking The Salvation Army to do a clothing drive for Deseret Industries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

   The next time I’m in Sam’s or Wal Mart, I’ll check for leg irons on the employees. The times I found myself working for stupid boss’s, I found another job before I quit. One time it took almost six months, but I found another, decent job.

   And who supported you while you were unemployed?

   Am i missing something here? is Walmart breaking any laws? are they paying their employees less than minimum wage? Because i’m pretty sure all this anit-walmart crap should be aimed at the government.
   Everyone i’ve seen who has jumped on this stupid “anit-walmart” band waggon are just big complainers who want to feel like they’re making a difference. The problem with complainers is that they don’t offer realistic solutions. Bring this to court, bring it to your congressmen,… but that’s too much work isn’t it? easier to sit back and complain.

   @octabrain but since you say it should be aimed at the government, aren’t you then complaining about the government? are you suggesting local, state, and fed government should increase the minimum wage? I’d agree with that. but, i think, a fair criticism of wal-mart is that they pay low salaries (legal, but low), do what they can to avoid paying benefits, practice on-demand staffing (i.e., a staff person could be called in at any time based on need and told to leave, so little control over their hours and free time), and meanwhile the Walton family is a big supporter of the GOP and cutting safety net programs that they promote their employees to apply for because they need them to survive. and while wal-mart is all for finding different ways to organize their capital under various legal structures to minimize their liability, they don’t think their workers should be able to organize their assets – their labor.

   I guess i’m in a mood right now…
   if any of you think that any of this is going to change wal-mart, then you are terribly wrong. You wanna know why small buisnesses aren’t doing well? it’s because our economy is growing beyond local markets. all these ‘poor walmart employee’ stories are unfortunate, however, they are just growing pains and no one is going to lift a finger for something that will work itself out anyways.

    No, I don’t think so. Cosco treats there employees as well as their CEO’s. So they get good pay like it use to be in more prosperous times—for everyone. Not just the top 20%

    @dzw3030

    As always you support the slaver , not the slave. Many times there are no other jobs. That is why they need to treat their employees the way they treat the upper management. Or do you have a problem with that?

    In some cases they locked their workers in the store at night to work for free. WalMart lost a court case on that.

    @bubblehead

    Oh i’m DEFINITLY complaining about the government. When i’m at Walmart and i see some little brat kid running around and acting like a little turd; i’m looking at the parent, not the kid. I know that if I was that kid, i’d be doing the same thing. If i was that parent i’d be doing something completely different.

    not sure what you’re point is with this isolated incident (that i’ll just have to take your word for,) BUT it is definitly a good example of people having a issue with walmart and going to court like they should.
