Debbie Shank, a 52-year old former Wal-Mart employee (& mother of a soldier killed in Iraq) who suffered serious brain damage after getting hit by a truck was subsequently sued by Wal-Mart to recover $470k in medical expenses. Shank had won a substantial settlement from the trucking company &, after legal fees, took home $417k. Only thanks to Keith Olbermann's "World's Worst" expose of Wal-Mart's vile behavior were they shamed into dropping the case. They're corporate scumbags of the worst kind.

Walmart damaged my suv during a oil and filter change,and then they refused to pay to fix it.I will never ,never go back to walmart.

Mr. Robert Greenwald should ask Rob Walton who is the main boss.

[lamourlupus]

Rob Walton and alike can't seem to discredit any film by Mr. Greenwald and Brave New Films, so they resort to misinformation and expressing that Walmart critics are bigots and racists. Sam's Club 6625 management in San Fernando California, Daniel Mora and supporters lied and kept the bonuses in 2005/2006. Americans who firmly support outsourcing of everything, please give them a first class ticket to the People's Republic of China and declare them Persona Non Grata when they try to visit the US.

Walmart take money from consumers and funnel to Big wigs.

This lead to economic inequality.

Where as local stores take money from consumers and help other middle class famlies

im 27 and very smart the only thing i could find was a job at sams during the holidays now i work at walmart for minimum wage and get less than part time hours and im a temp employee and the other day they trained me to drive a forklift last time i drove a forklift i was paid a lot more than minimum wage and the equitment was much safer its very sad but you can tell from the managment all they care about is numbers and profit of there store even if there only competition is another walmart

[gbilios]

go work for Aldi..they always pay above the award rate..

[abro420me]

Yeah the market tends to even itself out (with respect to wages). So, when Wal-Mart comes to town & pays 30% less than local small businesses in wages, & they account for, say, 50% of the employed in said little town. Now they are a major factor in what the "market" says wages should be for said jobs, hence suppressed wages.

What happens when you make less money, it's worth less (inflation)?

Now my numbers are straight out of my ass, that is true, but it illustrates the poblem quite well.

If you do not like Wal-Mart wages and insurance do not work for Wal-mart. This is a free country find work somewhere else. Do not whine because Wal-mart does not pay high wages. Any retail store I have worked for have roughly the same pay scale. The way out of this is to go to Wal-mart and tell them you are willing to pay double if the pay doubles otherwise wale up and get off Wal-mart's back.

If you are Union ask the union to open their own stores and leave mine alone. Long live freedom!
