"In his job at a Wal-Mart in Texas, Mike Michell was responsible for catching
shoplifters, and he was good at it, too, catching 180 in one two-year period.
But one afternoon things went wildly awry when he chased a thief—a woman
using stolen checks—into the parking lot. She jumped into her car, and her
accomplice gunned the accelerator, slamming the car into Michell and sending
him to the hospital with a broken kneecap, a badly torn shoulder, and
two herniated disks. Michell was so devoted to Wal-Mart that he somehow
returned to work the next day, but a few weeks later he told his boss that he
needed surgery on his knee. He was fired soon afterward, apparently as part
of a strategy to dismiss workers whose injuries run up Wal-Mart’s workers’
comp bills."

Thanks for taking the time to post this, 1171. I read part and saved it so I can finish later. What a sad state of affairs this country is in. before I was born and shortly after my father and his brother founded the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. I can still remember how hard they worked for the workers rights. Times have changed.

God bless America.
