Yeah, blah, blah, blah.

My wife works 32-38 hours a week at the local Wally. She is an hourly worker, and makes more than the going rate in our locale, and it was the same where we previously domiciled in another state. The VERY AFFORDABLE insurance is the best that we ever had, anywhere at any time, and we have had some pretty damn good insurance. In every case we have taken Wally-World insurance over that available where I have worked.

She has been treated fairly and enjoys what she does. She has been encouraged to advance at every turn and has been justly compensated for the advancement that she has accepted. She has not been sexually harassed, made to work off the clock, treated like crap, or any of the other whining points that you hear from the socialist agitators.

I guess what I am saying is that you are either misinformed from believing what you read on the news, a socialist agitator, or a whiny ex-employee who has nothing better to do than slam a good company. I sincerely hope that it is the first possibility, but who really cares?

Off the clock work. In Oregon, 400 employees in 27 stores sued the company for unpaid, off-the-clock overtime. In their suit, the workers explained that managers would delete hours from their time records and tell employees to clean the store after they clocked out. In December 2002, a jury found in favor of the workers (Associated Press, “Federal Jury Finds Wal-Mart Guilty in Overtime Pay Case,” Chicago Tribune, Business 3, 12/20/03).
