Is Wal-Mart Too Liberal?

You know our economy is on the rough side now. But I remember a time in the 80's everyone was griping about Wal-Mart and how they treated their employee's then. I wonder is it the same. I wonder what you will say in the year 2016. Everyone needs to help everyone else and be more appreciative of what they have and that Wal-Mart is trying to accomodate everyone. I am a Christian first and that means alot to some people. It doesn't mean our economy is going to get any better. Times are coming and everyone better be ready

My sister works at a WalMart in Ohio and she has only worked there for a few weeks and is ready to quit already because she says that the people she works for are mean and very insensitive.

This is how Wally world treats their hard working employees.
I have a friend that used to work at a Walmart store in Ohio. One night she was working stocking shelves with another co-worker, the other co-worker accidently dropped a ladder on her head and shoulders. As an honest hard working employee she did the correct thing and filed an accident/injury report with her supervisor that same night, and was then sent home because she was in to much pain to continue doing her normal job of stocking shelves. The next night when she went to work she was informed that she would have to submit to being tested for drugs, which she did. Her test results came back negative, The employee that accidently dropped the ladder on her was not tested for drugs. Her condition worsened, as the accident left her with a fractured vertebra in her neck. After seeing several doctors and missing a few nights of work due to the pain she was enduring she filled for workmans compensation claim. When the claim was approved she was immediately fired from her job.
Yep, Walmart deffinatly takes care of their employees.
WALMART DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THEIR BOTTOM LINE.
Kinda makes you wonder why their stock price hasn't really moved over the last eight years. Sure their dividends have gone up, but thats only a rouse for their little liberal shareholders to make them think that the company is actually doing better. Walmart, as a corporate entity has an ultimate goal of taking over the American economy, why else would they want to move into the banking sector, the health care industry. They even have plans on the table to oust Craigslist and move into free advertising. Do they really think that Craigslist is a threat to thier business, haha thats just to funny. Leave the little guy alone Walmart.
No, I don't own any shares of Walmart, and probably never will.
Do I think Walmart is becoming to liberal? YES I DO, but only since the demise of Mr. Walton. Someone who truely cared about honest and hard working people.
Am I a conservative republican? NO, I AM NOT.
Am I a liberal democrat? NO, I AM NOT.
I'll leave YOU to wonder where I sit on the political seat, and don't care one way or the other what YOU think about my views or opinions.

Wal-Mart sucks. We stopped there today to pick up some things and they only had four checkouts open. Do you believe that? And it's a super wal-mart. So we left our cart in the middle of the aisle and left. Wal-mart cares only about themselves. What a joke that store is.

My wife got fire, about a month ago. Reason was over her salary, that was make $12.00 hrs. Six years ago under pay all women, to avoid law suit, was to play every employee couple dollars more hrs. now six years later, case die out, now firing people left and right, so can lower price. Do anyone want work for these company? No future there. If had form a union perhaps would stop this from happen.

Wow i worked at Wal-mart for about two months and then I moved into the McDonalds as a Assistant Manager. I still did not learn as much about Wal-mart as I did reading about this discussion. I am now going to look into the everyones theory and respect everyones opinion. As far as I know I love shopping at Wal-mart but I always did tell my husband about how sad some of the employees seem to be. Now I know!!!!

First of all, why should a retailer have anything to do with politics? The board members would do well to keep their nose out of politics and continue to do good for the communities. It's right to be environmentally concious, regardless of profits. If people would be less concerned with money and start looking at the big picture, they might see the impact greed and prejudice has on society as a whole.

"family friendly"?? Maybe once they were, but new directives have been handed down in terms of scheduling that makes it fairly impossible for college students and those with families to get any hours at all. If the shift starts at 3:00 and you can't work until 4:00 because you're waiting for the other parent to come home and watch the kids, forget it. That shift will go to someone who can cover the whole thing first. And if no one can cover the whole shift, it will be left out as an open shift. It won't even be given to the person that can work the partial. So what you're left with is begging for hours and going through the hassle of having to get them specially approved. I started working there a few years ago because the hours were perfect for my young family. Now I have to find something else. These new directives are going to cut my pay and hours by more than half. I think I'll go check out Target!

Would you consider doing a story entitled , "Is Wal-mart too conservative?" They are a department store - not a political action committee.

Though never a fan of Wal-Mart's strategy of moving into an area, undercutting prices of all area players, causing the competition to drop and and slowly increasing prices back, I agree with this "reporter's" view of the retail giant. I happen to be a citizen of the mentioned "Red States" and have witnessed this erosion. I used to think that Arkansas meshed well with my "politics"; but after watching Bubba and HRC's antics and now Wal-Mart's turn to the left, I'm reassessing my stand on Arkansas. Of course you'll note the HRC had to move to eastern California (NYC) to make it to the Senate; so maybe Arkansas is alright afterall.

It's Wal-Mart's business and they can do whatever they want. I don't see anything wrong with trying to protect the environment. I am not a liberal or a conservative. I am an Independant. Wal-Mart should be able to run their company however they choose. I don't like buying things that are "Made in China" but you cannot get those things from the US because it would be more expensive to do so.

Wal-Mart is definatly too concerned with not offending anyone. Try working there! I watch thousands of dollars worth of merchandise walk out the door everyday without being paid for, but I will be fired if I say anything because we don't want to offend anyone. ESPECIALLY thieves. And as far as family values goes....that went in the toilet a long time ago. What most people don't know is that they are now cutting their associates hours in a move to bring full time 40 hour a week associates, down to 20 hour a week part time associates so they don't have to pay benefits. :)

I think this article is fluff, I mean how is any company not, liberal in one area while being conservative in another? when it comes to conceptual views on the world we are all in the gray. For those of us that are religious we are saved but we still confess to being sinners, everyone is both masculine and feminine , animus to our anima, eros vs thanatos. The list is infinite , It all comes down to the fact that Wal-Mart bows to no one every move they make is a business venture inorder to improve shareholder value. Wal_mart is not a relisous be they only want to be seen as such in order to garner business
