Foodservice, Food Processing, and Retail NEED mandatory paid sick leave. The fact that they don't, with the inevitable public health consequence, is gross to say the least. Aside from that note, any corp with as much power as Walmart needs to be broken up and/or unionized, pronto.
This really makes my blood boil, that employees are treated like slaves, tbh.
Our whole economy here in Arkansas is tied to this organization, so you can’t really get a fair trial
I think I may start quoting this when people ask why I don't like Walmart. I think the article helped convey how much sway the company has over the state. It's scary. Glad I no longer live there.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
