Walmart continues it's excellent record on worker rights with dirty new intimidation tactics. Walmart execs have called meetings with mangers all over the country tell them that their jobs may be in jeopardy if they support Barack Obama for president. Their goal is to brainwash workers into believing that voting for a political party that supports worker's rights might get them fired.
Walmart can't seem stay out of the headlines for worker's rights violations. It seems just yesterday when Walmart made the papers for practicing sexism in it's decision making process for promoting workers. Women with more qualifications and experience were routinely denied promotions and forced to work underneath their less qualified male counterparts.
It's no wonder why Walmart has much lower prices than similar businesses like Target -- they don't give a damn about their employees. Walmart associates aren't adequately compensated for their work. The average cashier at Walmart lives below the federal poverty line and Walmart execs are working to keep it that way.
The fat cats at Walmart are afraid of the inevitable, that workers will eventually realize their worth and organize to demand fair compensation for their labor.

it's too bad the prices at walmart can't be beat, otherwise i would boycott it.
i do boycott it, and so does the rest of my family.
if it's within your power, spend that extra buck somewhere else.
Our society can't afford to perpetuate this cycle of abuse on American employees, not to mention the Chinese who manufacture the products.
