Any one watch: Walmart- The high cost of low price

Wal-mart is using the system to have employees go on welfare.... More than any other company in the country they make govt. pick up the health care for full time employees who couldn't afford to pay for health care... This makes me so sick... There is not a Wal-mart near me, but their is a sam's club... I heard they are connected...


Wal-mart is anti union.... They search out a destroy pro union workers via profiling people who are "strong leaders", and get rid of them. Their is surveillance in break rooms, and workers are told they are not given raises because of union threats...

This conquer and destroy method is what Scott Walker has done to the Unions in the State of Wisconsin... Walmart moved Walker into his job at Milwaukee county level and helped spring him into the Governor's mansion...

No over time is paid, but workers are forced to do the overtime off the clock or they will lose their job.. Scott Walker is turning Wisconsin into Walmart...

Walmart uses a computer software to go into the computer and take over-time off a persons check.....Scott Walker did the same thing when he introduced Ceridian computer systems to Miwaukee County...

What has been acceptable in this country to low wage workers, is now happening to union workers... Wake up...

One of the unions in our area provided it free of charge to anyone who wanted to see it. It was in the local grocery store, along with the other DVDs available for rental. Since it was free, I think quite a few people who might not have seen it otherwise took it home and watched it.
