1. Walmart: Save money, live better.

2. Meeting with them won't help. That's like asking rMoney to identify a doughnut.

I wish the clip extended into how WalMart pioneered the double-part-time worker to avoid paying health benefits. By keeping the two jobs independent on the books, they can claim the individual is really two part-time workers (not eligible) even if they cross-bill between departments and the worker spends all of their time in one of them. It's catching on. Ahold is doing it. Target's doing it. Home Depot does it. WalMart started it. They don't give a shit about the employees.

3. Of course, WalMart doesn't care. They are acting as capital always has. Once it costs more to keep

you than you generate in productivity you're simply tossed aside. It has always been and it always will be unless there's a Union to shift the balance of power.

4. Ah, but your employee contract at WalMart lists union activities as grounds for termination!

Canada doesn't allow that part of the contract, so they actually DO have unionized WalMarts. Don't expect that to happen here anytime soon. If management gets a wiff of the word "union" you're out on your ass.
