Walmart Asks Customers To Donate Food To Its Needy Employees

A Cleveland Walmart store is holding a food drive - for its own
employees.

"Please donate food items so associates in need can enjoy Thanksgiving
dinner," reads a sign accompanied by several plastic bins.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported on the food drive, which has
sparked outrage in the area.

"That Walmart would have the audacity to ask low-wage workers to donate
food to other low-wage workers - to me, it is a moral outrage," Norma
Mills, a customer at the store, told the Plain Dealer.

A company spokesman defended the food drive, telling the Plain Dealer
that it is evidence that employees care about each other.

Wal-Mart has been criticized for paying low wages to its 2.2 million
employees.

Last week, 50 people were arrested after protesting the retailer's pay
at a store in Los Angeles.

Wal-Mart turned a profit of $15.7 billion last year.

The ironic thing is Walmart actually pays slightly above the industry
average for retail. It is the mom and pop they replaced who really
offers ****ty jobs (generally lower wages and no benefits).
Walmart is actually seen as a good job out in flyover land. It is the
urban stores where you see these protests.


What's ironic is that no matter what the right does to **** over low
income people, you support it.


Wait a minute. Your boy promised that there would be no more ****ing
over of low income people. You need to bend his ear and get him to do
the job that his supporters hired him to do. That is, if you have the
balls to speak to a venue other than rec.boats.

Nobody puts a gun to these people's head and makes them work at
Walmart or McDonalds.
They usually do it because that is the best job they are capable of
holding.
The cost of labor needs to reflect the value of that labor, not some
artificial number that can't be supported by the sales price of the
end product.


Perhaps they do it because WalMart has driven so many small businesses
out of business and they can't find a decent job anywhere, because the
toasters they used to manufacture WalMart buys in China from factories
that employ near slave labor.

Do you really delude yourself into believing Mom and Pop pay any more
than Walmart? Will they have insurance, 401k, sick leave or paid
vacation?

Not bloody likely. In fact they are far more likely to have "cash"
employees who are not even getting FICA taxes paid, particularly out
in the country.

As for slave labor from China, who do you think built all of your
Apple stuff?

An apple store employee makes about the same as a walmart retail
person.

If you take the average salary of an Apple employee into the $30
billion they made, an average Walmart employee shared more in the
profits.
2.2 million walmart employees, $16b profit vs $30b profit and 80,000
employees.

Harry's WalMart printer was probably made in Taiwan, not China.

You make it sound like Mom and Pop are paying their employees $40 an

BTW do you actually know anyone who works at Walmart and how do they
feel about it. I know a single mom in Oklahoma who was thrilled to get
her walmart job. She finally got insurance for her kid.


How soon after that did George Zimmerman kill the kid so she could
collect on the policy?

Oh...the average *fulltime* WalMart employee makes $8.81 an hour, or
about $17,000 a year. And WalMart plays fast and loose with employee
hours and full and part time classifications. The average WalMart store
requires $1.5 million in pubic subsidies for its workers so they can buy
enough food to eat.

Absolutely correct. The only way to gain unrealistic advantage is to
unionize. And we all know how that worked out. "look for the union
label" they used to say. ;-)
