Rumored to be worlds worst employer

Wal-Mart shown no mercy but instead received a nose thumb from its workers!

Wal-mart has agreed to pay $35 million to 88,000 employees in its Washington state stores settling a lawsuit stemming from 2001. But the retail giant is not going quietly in fact they are crying foul. “This lawsuit was filed years ago, and the allegations are not representative of the company we are today,” Wal-Mart spokesman Daphne Moore said. “We have worked hard to have the right communication, processes and systems in place to help ensure we live up to this commitment.”

For years Wal-Mart has been plagued by similar suits  with higher payouts and accused of everything from wage and hour violations, short changing the workers on overtime and lest not forget about forcing employees to work through meal and rest breaks. Wal-Mart accomplished compliance with its alleged anti-employee practices by threatening demotion even discharge for failure to get on-board.  Rumor has it Wal-Mart has gone as far as physically locking employees in the store overnight after they had already clocked out for the day. Managers claimed pressure from upper management to slash employee costs forced them to under hire and overwork employees even if it meant working them off-the-clock.

Claiming to be a changed employer while continuing to rack up worker instigated suits makes it difficult for one to muster up any sympathy.   Seriously…oh please forgive me for I have changed my wicked ways!
