Why Walmart is an anti-worker, un-American wolf in sheep's clothing:
1. Walmart discourages, in the strongest sense union
representation. While it bills itself as "pro-worker"
wages and benefits are very poor.
2. Use of third-world child labor to unfairly compete and
bring underpriced goods to market.
3. Wal-Mart gives it's employees "fake" benefits.
While many companies give employees tuition benefits,
Walmart gives employees assistance in getting a GED.
Anybody in the USA can get a GED for free.
Walmart offers new employees a Sam's Club card for $35.00
which is the same price you can buy it for off the street
and doesn't give it's employees any discount from the price
of goods purchased at Sam's clubs.
4. Wal-mart doesn't call its workers employees it calls them
associates. Why? Is this to disavow them if they cause some
embarrassment?
5. Wal-mart does not give equal pay for equal work. One
employee may be hired at $6.00 another doing the same
job may get much more. I recently got myself hired to
find out for myself. Such wage inequality seems
terribly wrong when we are talking about one of America's
largest, wealthiest employers.
6. Wal-mart employees cannot afford health insurance. While I
cannot verify the numbers I have heard only 2 percent of
it's employees have the health insurance.
7. Wal-mart destroys 4 to 5 jobs for every one that it creates.
Again I cannot verify exact numbers. Wal-Mart is
expanding into Europe, South America, Canada and Mexico.
While the effect be just as negative there???
How many business enterprises do you know of being outright
banned in America? Probably few if any, right? Well, in
many towns and communities Wal-mart has been shown for the
wolf it really is and is not permitted to open in many
places including the state of Vermont.
8. Wal-mart maintains a very strong propaganda machine in its
internet division. Wal-mart was noted for recently laying
off 10 percent of it's internet army. If you do a
"word-search" using a popular search engine you will find
that Wal-mart has positive information on the first 100
sites or so. You have to go past these to get to the dirt!
