Wal*Mart news

I never, and I mean NEVER shop at Wal*Mart - and I'm proud of it. I believe they treat their workers poorly and when they moved into a nearby local village, they wiped out half of the local businesses and replaced most of the jobs with part-time, low wage jobs. Theese tactics are a blight on the American economy.  Now this...


On November 19 the group Warehouse Workers for Justice helped workers file their fourth class action lawsuit since 2009 against companies that operate Walmart warehouses in the Chicago area

This lawsuit charges that at least 18 workers at a warehouse in suburban Elwood realized once they were paid that they got less than promised and in fact less than minimum wage from the company Eclipse Advantage. This week workers marched to Eclipse offices demanding its billing and payment records so they can figure out exactly how much they are owed.
