What is new with WalMart?
That they are still paying entry level and unskilled workers higher wages and benefits than thousands of other employers; trying to instill Sam Walton’s ethics of a sense of pride in the workplace and being part of a team, and unlike Darden restaurants chains and thousands of other employers of first resort- they are keeping health benefits for 24 hr a week part timers
If you disagree with WalMart’s business plan, don’t shop there. If enough people follow you and the union agitators, Walmarts business willl drop and there will be that many less seniors, single parents, students, and other unskilled people hired who need flexible and part time work, at 30% above minimum wage, to start.
Thank you for your reply. When all of these other companies do this, we applaud them for sticking it to “the man.” But when Walmart does this, evil Walmart. BS. Too many FReepers are media puppets.
Tell your PR company or Walmart or whoever you work for that you earned your money this week with that Walmart manifesto you sent.
Also have a friend who went to a specialist. Walmart refused to pay and wrote in big red letters on the denial notice she was lying, All she did was go to a referred specialist. So much for health benefits. Walmart is known for this kind of thing. Blue Shield/Blue Cross is another one. An employee was on the Blue Shield group plan for many years of his company and not a high wage earner. No claims whatsoever. Been with company forever. Had a heart attack. Blue Cross paid a total of $7.95. That did get straightened out, however, and Blue Cross was dropped immediately.
Things don’t always appear as they really are.
