employer. And most can't speak English

World.

[Bad Boy Bad Boy]

Keep buying at WalMart, I have Stock in them.

I may not like their employment issues, but they make me money...

[hurt at work]

walmart is related to hitler some how with there employement practices.

[Still in Limbo]

I have 3 within 15 Minutes of Me, and I only Shop there when Absolutely Necessary. Many, Many Small Businesses that were Here in My Neighborhood and Close Surrounding Areas were effected so Badly by Walmart that they had to Close. Some of these Businesses were in the Same Family for 50 Years or More. I understand Competition Lowers Prices and is not Illegal, but I feel a Monopoly is. Too Many Stores too Close chokes Out the Small Stores, and Many Families were effected by this in a Negative Way. But that's just My Humble Opinion.

Monster you are so correct. I worked for them for 10 years, I fought WC and Unemployment for them during that 10 years span. Not once did I loose a case for them. So I do know where you are coming from.

I also worked for Wal Mart many years ago. Sam Walton was alive and would make a point to visit stores in person and provide employee trainnings.

Back then the employees were treated the right way. After he died I saw a huge change in the way employees were treated. Workers were no longer treated with respect.
