underbelly of one of the world's largest
companies what better gift to give a
loved one than the jackhawk 9000
available at Walmart number five Walmart
is bad for communities we've all heard
of the Walmart effect they come in build
a mega store in a small to mediumsized
town and over the next couple of years
the independent businesses slowly close
shop because they simply can't compete
the thing is Walmart has been accused of
damaging communities in more subtle ways
too according to a briefing from the UC
Berkeley Labor Center Walmart
essentially creates a culture of poverty
that leans heavily on government
programs employees wind up turning to
social assistance to compensate for
their Rock Bottom wages the inaccessible
and overpriced Healthcare offered by
Walmart which forces them to
disproportionately rely on government
Healthcare is just one such example
number four they've been accused of
stealing from their
employees Dad how come Walmart is able
to sell everything so cheap it's simple
economics son I don't understand it at
all but God I love it all right in
Walmart's defense most Mega corporations
are looking to exploit every tax
loophole they can find but few companies
are bold enough to shift the financial
burden onto their employees who for the
most part are only making minimum wage
to begin with in 2014 when Walmart
decided to change the employee dress
uniforms it came out the pockets of
their workers it's been estimated that
it generated 50 to100 million in sales
for the company some workers say even
with their employee discount they can't
afford it worse yet in Pennsylvania
Walmart was taken to court in a massive
case for having forced employees to work
through unpaid breaks meals and
allegedly when they were off the clock
New York matches like Walmart coming to
town me personally I think it's time
Walmart went home number three they have
a history of discriminating against the
elderly and disabled while such cases
have Arisen as a series of single
offenses rather than companywide
policies the frequency with which
employee discrimination occurs makes it
an undeniable pattern and I mean I
poured my heart and soul into this
company the US equal employment
opportunity commission has taken Walmart
to task on countless occasions in 201 17
an intellectually disabled employee of
15 years was let go after struggling to
adapt to a new schedule when she was
forced to work longer hours and night
shifts despite previous good performance
reviews in 2016 Walmart was sued for
refusing to accommodate a cancer
survivor's limited stamina and need for
shorter hours termination as a result of
old age has also been a recurring issue
all are welcome all are
welcome number two man managers
allegedly discourage emergency calls I
used lots of things I work at Walmart
you'd think that with all the bad press
and Scandals they faced over the years
Walmart would be more than ready to
calmly handle something as simple as an
accident or medical incident in their
store but it seems that managers are
willing to go to any lengths to avoid
drawing attention past employees have
come out on Reddit and shared numerous
stories of how senior staff refused to
call 911 when situations arose that
clearly called for it the real life
horror stories include employee heart
attacks suspected brain damage workplace
accidents and more employees who did
call 911 even reported being vially
reprimanded by their superiors go [ __ ]
yourself go [ __ ] yourself go [ __ ]
yourself number one managers have a
Playbook to fight employee efforts to
unionize as if Walmart employee
relations couldn't get any worse it's
like some mystical evil force the
company is notorious for going to
extreme lengths to deter the employees
from unionizing in addition to producing
absurdly biased videos the company
actually equips their senior staff with
union busting strategies should they get
wind of any such plots during the
process of intimidating them they just
make their lives miserable they do
illegal surveillance they put cameras up
the 53-page document is literally titled
a manager's toolbox for remaining Union
free oh and don't forget about the
hotline should managers need additional
help there's a Labor Relations number
they can call for assistance of course
should the management fail to thwart
Union efforts and one is successfully
formed Walmart isn't above closing the
store in response do you agree with our
