walmart  is being sued because they broke labor laws 2 million times here. They had forced several workers to work overtime without extra pay and several times they were cutting  break times or not giving breaks  , as well as decreasing wages.

I mean Ive hated the store for a while but they are just dispicable

that sucks.

but on the flip side, if they didn't want to work it, they could have just left and found another job.

I worked at wal-mart for a couple months and it was the worst thing ever.

They're a horrible company and the walton family are some seriously fucked up individuals.

It's not easy to find a job these days...  

I agree that it's good for customers but not for the workers.

Workers are exploited all over the place.

My entire wardrobe is made from the hands of exploited workers. Hasn't stopped me in the past from enjoying cheap products, it won't now.

That's a surprise.  

Wal-Mart has always been dispicable. This isn't the only time it's done this type of stuff. Once they tried to build a store over an ancienct sacred burial ground in Mexico. They ignored the people and the local government's protests and did it anyways.

I prefer Target or Costco. The makers of the items may be treated just as bad, but at least the middleman's emplyees aren't.
