somewhere I read that walmart only pays $9 an hour. To risk life and limb for $9 ........that walmart spokes person was correct...no amount of money is worth this.

let the police handle it when they get outside

Have you ever noticed that those who do not have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of always seem to know how to handle the money of those who do.

From min wage to 16 an hour depending on the market.

And, they get to be called 'associates'.

If there ever were justification for a union it would be Walmart.

Yeah, if the dues were just $1 a week, they'd be raking in over a hundred million a year.

Why is that?
How do they mistreat their employees?
Do you think that if they unionized, WM would keep all those people on the payroll? If the whine is part time jobs, figure half the people working there would be let go.

Now, unless you are a lib and welfare is a career path for you, a part time job is better than a no job.

Do you really think most Walmart employees bring some special skills to the job that they are worth more?

It is called minimum wage incorrectly.
Many, many people contribute nowhere near anything remotely worth the pay they get.

For some workers, it should be called negative wage.
If I have offended any workers out there, please call me on your Obama Phone......I just know you have a couple.

Don't doubt that one bit.

Many more are thankful just to have a job, period. Those are the kind of employees Walmart loves.

Without Walmart, where do you suppose they would take those valuable skills to sell?

Many people should be thankful Walmart will hire them.

Regardless, they should be treated fairly and respectfully, agreed?
