Most people who get screwed over by these people don't even realize it. My mother works for Target by her own choice but she is intelligent enough to know they do not treat their workers fairly and are exploiting the ignorance of people who believe they are being treated well. If it works for you annie, great. But most people don't like being treated like slaves and recognize when they are undervalued. Walmart loves people like you.

I JUST RECENTLY RETIRED. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WAL-MART OFFERS HEALTH INSURANCE TO PT AFTER ONE YEAR. THEY HAVE A LOT OF CHOICES , SOME OF THEM ARE VERY AFFORDABLE. NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN TOLD HOW TO VOTE. NEVER HAVE I BEEN TOLD I COULD NOT JOIN A UNION. I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE HEALTH INSURANCE AND CHOICES AND INFORMED ABOUT WAL-MART'S STAND ON THE UNION. WAS NEVER TOLD I WOULD BE FIRED FOR TALKING UNION I WILL HAVE TO SAY I KNOW FOR A FACT IF AN ASSOCIATE ISN'T GIVEN AN EVALUATION EVERY YEAR THE MANGERS WILL GET IN BIG TROUBLE. I ALWAYS GOT A RAISE AND QUITE A FEW MERIT RAISES. I BOUGHT WAL-MART STOCK AND WAL-MART PUT A % WITH THAT.I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN 401k AND THE COMPANY GAVE US PROFIT SHARING WHICH I DID NOT PUT A PENNY INTO. BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS , I HAVE A 2100 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE WHICH I PAID FOR FROM MY STOCK THAT I INVESTED WITH AND I STILL HAVE STOCK. I ALSO AM GETTING A CHECK EVERY MONTH FROM THE INVESTMENT I MADE WITH MY 401K AND PROFIT SHARING. WITH MY SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK AND MY INVESTMENT CHECK I AM MAKING AS MUCH AS I DID WHEN I WAS WORKING. AND BY THE WAY I WAS MAKING A GREAT SALARY WHEN I LEFT. I AM JUST A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE BUT I ALWAYS DID MY JOB , DID NOT MISS WORK UNLESS I WAS VERY SICK (NOT A HEADACHE OR JUST DIDN'T FEEL GOOD). I WAS NEVER TREATED WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT RESPECT. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WORKED THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WAL-MART IS ALL ABOUT. OH AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE RETIREMENT PARTY THAT WAS GIVEN FOR ME ON MY LAST DAY OF WORK, I WORKED FOR WAL-MART FOR 27 YEARS. I JUST RECENTLY RETIRED.

I read all 8 pages! It all sounded like it could have happened right here at our Wal-Mart. Right now, ours is organized and clean, cos they just opened a new supercenter-we used to have a smaller one. I still like to get my groceries at Food Lion. The prices are lower, and now, the lines are empty, cos everyone else is at Wally-World. Julie

Wal-Mart is an egregious violator of everything that is a part of the Fair Wage and Labor statutes. It would be nice to pick a day, say September 1, when everybody would go to a Wal-Mart and stand at the registers at 10:00 AM (or some other set time ) and tell the cashiers and anyone else in earshot that they should organize, unless of course they really like being boned by Wal-Mart. Yeah, they can throw you out of the store, but if it happened in every store, it would be a public relations disaster. Atheist under the mask:

He told me that before they opened every morning, they had what amounted to pep rallies where they would do the old standby; "Give me a W!, Give me an A!" etc. They called the hyphen a "squiggly" That was like hell to me. I mean, I got fired as a waiter for refusing to participate in their idiotic birthday singing- I told the manager I got paid for singing and wasn't about to offer it up for free to every toothless dumbass who'd scraped up their recycling money for a bowl of overblown mac and cheese. My dirty little secret is that I do take advantage of my parents' Sam's Club membership every now and again. I'm a slave to Frappucino.
