Why aren’t you taking this up with your Walmart supervisor instead of airing the dirty laundry here?

Suits Say Wal-Mart Forces Workers to Toil Off the Clock

KANSAS CITY, Mo. After finishing her 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift, Verette Richardson clocked out and was heading to her car when a Wal-Mart manager ordered her to turn around and straighten up the store’s apparel department.

Eager not to get on her boss’s bad side, she said, she spent the next hour working unpaid, tidying racks of slacks and blouses and picking up hangers and clothes that had fallen to the floor. Other times after clocking out, she was ordered to round up shopping carts in the parking lot.

Some days, as soon as she walked in a manager told her to rush to a cash register and start ringing up purchases, without clocking in. Sometimes, she said, she worked for three hours before clocking in.

“They wanted us to do a lot of work for no pay,” said Ms. Richardson, who worked from 1995 to 2000 at a Wal-Mart in southeast Kansas City. “A company that makes billions of dollars doesn’t have to do that.”
