In November, Sanders introduced legislation aimed at getting Walmart to offer better pay and benefits. The “Stop Walmart Act,” would prohibit corporations from buying back their own stock — which drives up share prices and ultimately benefits shareholders — unless they pay all workers $15 an hour, offer seven days of paid sick leave and limit executive compensation to 150 times median employee pay.

There's the door....

They won't Unionize...so they'll go after Walmart this way.

I think Bill Gates owns 6.5 million shares of Walmart.

The losers will be the former Walmart workers and the shoppers of limited means who will no longer be able to afford many necessities.

[MrEdd]

Hillary used to be on the board.
The company has become badly micromanaged from Bentonville since Sam died, and is beginning to run on inertia.

The invite didn’t come from the employees.

Wouldn’t be appropriate to introduce legislation that members of Congress are only allowed to have one house, worth 150 times of the appraisal value of the median home value in the US? In addition, congressional pension plans should be tied to the median value of the average retired US citizen.

Paycheck envy.Bernie has it bad.

Walmart workers looking like Walmart shoppers.

This just shows the intellectual level of Walmart employees, apparently. They see a nearly 80 year old commie who never earned an honest dollar in his life as their savior. Really sad.

As a condition of employment all workers would have to watch at least 2 hours or more of videos showing various communist entities murdering their citizens. Start with the soviets, then central Europe then go through the various eastern regimes with special attention to North Korea and Cambodia, put in Cuba then rest of the little areas where murderous thugs reigned supreme.

Afterwards should be a little quiz. those who "got it" get employed, those who don't...buh bye.

“These workers need and deserve a seat at the table,” Sanders (I-Vt.) told The Washington Post. “If hourly workers at Walmart were well represented on its board, I doubt you would see the CEO of Walmart making over a thousand times more than its average worker."

If American taxpayers paying pompous ass commie senators that accomplish nothing and do nothing but loot the treasury were truly represented in Congress, I doubt you and your colleagues would be alive right now!!

Jobs Comparison
Wal-Mart: 2.2 million employees globally, with 1.5 million in the US.
Bernie Sanders: 0

Clearly, Wal-Mart can manage without a lecture from a rotting communist.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

I think Wal~Mart does profit sharing, competitive wages for hiring and offers health insurance from go etc. so, this joker Sanders, once again, is wrong.

[marajade]

As an exemployee of Walmart I’d rather work McDonald’s than work there again. Terrible employer.

[Ann Archy]

FIRE THEM!!!

[LegendHasIt]

Old Sam Walton would have dealt with this properly.

His leftist idiot kids will likely swoon in ecstasy, then lick bernie’s feet.

[Maudeen]

Went to a WalMart today and while there expressed my observation about some of the teen workers (males) on the evening shift who are “hiding out” in the isles at the back of the store just chit chatting with one another. Perhaps they need some “work ethic” training . . .the same ones I told to check the signs in the garden department. . .a quick in-service on knowing the difference between annuals and perennials perhaps is in order.

“These workers need and deserve a seat at the table,”

What right does he have, telling a private corporation how to run its business?

[jz638]

I support this plan so long as the board member seat is a rotating position filled by a cashier selected at random, that board member is allowed to bring her kids if she cannot find a sitter, and that the boardroom dress code be modified to accommodate cookie monster pajama bottoms. And also the board meetings will be livestreamwd on the internet.

Workers? No...

“Some workers”

[trebb]

Walmart treats their employees well - even helps place those who are moving into new stores which has helped a number of military spouses ...
