I have only know a couple of people who worked at Walmart, and they weren't as happy with the environment as your friends were. They were grateful they had a job - yes. They just wanted to be able to make a living wage.
I think unions are good. I don't want to see a return to the American 'slave' labor of the industrial revolution. | Maybe it would be better to reset the regulations on descriptions of what is actually a fulltime employee. There are so many more large businesses out there that are using this same hourly ploy to bypass paying employee benifits. Why pick on Walmart?
More businesses like Walmart could offer their employees medical care insurance. If less people in the insurance and medical industry were stuffing their pockets. So the question goes to what can be done so everyone in the nation may have medical care. We need a national medical plan. Then Wally world would not be such an issue that we are currently hearing about in the news.
Walmart is reorganizing many of their department stores. They are taking out certain departments in order to defer the cost of what is coming down the pike. I discovered this a week ago chatting with an employee at one of the stores. |
