I watched a documentary on Walmart the other night. More employees of Walmart are on public assistance (welfare)
then any other company in the US. So here you have hard working people who are forced to get food stamps because Walmart uses them like slaves. Since many on here on for forced sterilization of anyone on welfare should they be sterilized or should Walmart be forced to pay a living wage.

Well, I just think that one of the largest store chains should be forced to pay their people better...of course, the last stroll I took thru Walmart, a lot of the people looked like they just left the circus to work there...so hmm....

Walmart asks on their application if you have recieved public assistance in the last year or some time frame similar to that.
I believe Walmart is providing a service to people who otherwise would not have any kind of gainful employment.
I believe they are providing a service to the poor.
My son and my daughter both work at Walmart. Neither one are going to make a career out of it. They work with people who are retired, disabled, un-educated and unable to find a job anywhere else.
The call in's at Walmart and the turn over is pretty high. You have to consider the people working at Walmart for the long term are not rocket scientist or educated enough to get high paying jobs.
You also have to consider, Walmart is huge. Of course they have a lot of people on Welfare in the employees.
My sister in law also works at Walmart and has a Masters Degree. One of the men my son works with is a high school teacher off for the summer. Your idea of serilization is just a stupid brainless mockery of real life. I just wonder where you work
You sound like your prejudiced and maybe a little dense and need a good touch of reality. You watch too much TV.
Since when did working at Walmart become "slave" labor.

People keep bashing Wal-mart and it has all to do with liberalism and none to do with common sense. It must have been an Al Gore or Michael Moore documentary because the "facts" which you state do not add up to the facts that exist. Check with Wal-Mart employees. Maybe you should be sterilized because this kind of thinking does far more harm than Wal-Mart has ever done.

As long as people continue to accept the wages they receive from Walmart then it will never change. As for the sterilization question no I don't think they should be sterilized

Maybe the people working at wal-mart should take a look at their life and make up their own minds about where they are at. If they don't like it they can always work hard and move up the social latter. That would be the American way, but I guess its easier to force companies to do your bidding.

So I guess I would say no to the question.

I really like to shop at Wal-Mart, but it is really sad that its employees are having to live on food stamps and welfare. Wal-Mart needs to give some of its profits to its employees. I know Wal-Mart uses a lot of part-timers and I believe it's because of not paying any benefits. It's really shameful, but we all know who is winning in the end (the executives and big management personnel).

There are greater Wal Mart workers on welfare than different agencies through fact there are greater Wal Mart workers than there are on the different company different than the U.S. government. Now that i think of roughly it, are not ALL government workers receiving the help of the government? Wal Mart delivers a gamble for progression for many those that should in any different case no longer get that possibility. no one desires to be a cashier all their life, basically like no one desires to artwork the counter at McDonald's all their life. and that isn't the point of intro-point jobs. the assumption is to apply it as a beginning factor to shifting up the two interior the corporate or to a diverse company or as a subsidy to those that already obtain social protection and are finding for extra earnings. Wal Mart leads the country in employing the elderly. If Wal Mart closed its doorways, then you definately might see human beings on welfare like under no circumstances till now in historic previous.

Spoken like a true fascist neo liberal democrat.

Forced sterilization is insane. If they whork but are also in public assistance, then at least it is less assistance then if they were not working.

WalMart can afford to pay every employee they have a few bucks more. And benefits.

Greedy greedy Walmart
