Working Mother Magazine on Wal-Mart

this magazine has a nice cover but it is what is inside that counts I wish old man walmart would wake up and give these people a fair wage ---------- so If a girl works at balmart and she is of african or spanish or island heritage they will be mistreated who knows take all of this on a need to know basis and investigate it .  multiculturial means 2 cultures yes or no wall mart is no saint but some people like these prices-------------- ;( bad wal mart

the suits are pending - let me say that again - PENDING
Nothing’s been proven
Don’t treat it as fact until they have been found guilty

I think it is only 4 women bringing this lawsuit but I am not for sure.  I know one lady in my office who worked for wal-Mart previously was sent a letter letting her know that she was part of this lawsuit, however, she declined because she had no reason, (like every women I know that is currently working there) to believe she was discriminated against.  I would imagine that is true for most of the 1.6MM women being included.

So, if your work force is not the same ratio as census data that is hard core evidence of discrimination?

So, if your work force is not the same ratio as census data that is hard core evidence of discrimination?

The “hard core evidence” comes from a statistical analysis of Wal-Mart’s employment records.

In 2003, as part of the case gender discrimination against Wal-Mart, Dr. Richard Drogin, Professor Emeritus from California State University, conducted a <a >study</a> on the wages of female employees at Wal-Mart. Among his key findings:

• Women comprise 92 percent of Wal-Mart’s cashiers, but only 14 percent of Wal-Mart Store Managers. [Wal-Mart Class, Plaintiff’s Expert Dr. Richard Drogin’s Statistical Report,]

What people fail to realize is that they deal with any gender discrimination lawsuit by laying off its female employees en masse and overworking the remainder so hard they’re too exhausted to even think of filing a lawsuit.

And, since most of their businesses are in right-to-work states, since their “three strikes” disciplinary system is very easy to run foul of, since Wal-Mart can(and has) write up, give d-days to and terminate employees who work even a second of overtime, etc., it is all perfectly legal.

Besides, they have the money and political pull to weather most legal storms.

William S. Signs

P.S. Not only a former victim of the Wal-Mart slave-labor system, but I work for one of their suppliers as well.

William

Do you mean Wal-Mart kidnapped you and forced you to work as a slave, against your will, at gunpoint? You really need to report this crime to the government. Slavery is illegal and immoral and has no place in the modern world (outside of the Sudan and other Muslim areas where it is still practiced).

You should tell everyone your story in detail. Maybe you could start at the beginning when Wal-Mart kidnapped you and go through the whole thing in detail, including the methods by which Wal-Mart kept you enslaved against your will and kept you from passing a note or a message to customers.

I am very interested in your story.............

William,

“since most of their businesses are in right-to-work states”

Is that so, but, many are in states without the ‘right to work’ law, what do they do in those states, to destroy and abuse their employees?  What I can never figure out is ‘why’ Wal-Mart would do the things they are accused of, if it only hurts the company to do those things, therefore, it would be stupid for them to do those things and I don’t really think Wal-Mart is stupid!!

Question: ‘why’ Wal-Mart would do the things they are accused of, if it only hurts the company to do those things, therefore, it would be stupid for them to do those things and I don’t really think Wal-Mart is stupid!!

Answer: Our size causes us, when we do something inappropriate, which is usually done out of stupidity, to come across as being done out of arrogance. ~ H. Lee Scott

Why should William oblige you, Nick?

“You should tell everyone your story in detail.”

You first, Nick!  Some of us are still waiting to hear YOUR whole story.  What qualifies you, or gives you the “credibility” to harangue the rest of us on this blog on just about every topic imagineable?

We’re very interested in your story.............

Screwed

Are you not concerned that William was held in slavery by Wal-Mart? This being an anti-Wal-Mart forum, such detail should be welcomed. William claimed he was a slave for Wal-Mart. We all know the common meaning of the word ‘slave”. If you are going to claim that someone made you a ‘slave’ then you need to provide information as to why someone would do this and how they would get away with it? Did William have family? Didn’t they miss him for six years? How was William not able to whisper to a customer or pass a note for six years. Are we to assume that 750,000 of Wal-Mart’s 1.5 million US employees endure a similar fate, with the other 750,000 guarding them?

In this day and age, a claim of slavery outside of a MUSLIM country is remarkable. We need the details so that we can free the slaves who are currently being held by Wal-Mart at $9 per hour.

We need details from William, Screwed, and not from you, unless you also claim to have been held in slavery, against your will, by Wal-Mart.

Nice Dodge, Nick!

I try to open the door for you and “give you the platform,” (not that you ever needed anyone to give you the platform before) and you dodge my question by trying to redirect the conversation back to William.  Somehow I expected that from you.

ScrwedByWal-Mart,

Here’s you chance to put Nick in his place so that he has no excuses for telling his story and instead “dodge” your questions.  I think everyone should “come clean”

Are you really Tom Boese?  A simple Yes or No will do?

Mary-

According to Rev. Nick and his interpretation of scripture you should-

“You hear that, females? Keep quiet, don’t speak until spoken to, don’t dare teach a man or give orders to a man. You are evil, you have caused man to sin and you are ordered to be quiet and make babies.”

“If you really read into Christianity, it is about as tolerant of females as is Islam.”

Mary, surely you will want to continue to support Nick in his view of women and justify his Biblical teachings.

My question was not about my support or non support for Nick.  Believe it or not I don’t always agree with him… or Bob, Ken B, you etc.  I just think if you are going to call out someone then you should start by making yourself a good example.  People feel free to ask me any questions you like.

So I’m asking ScrewedByWalmart.... Are you really Tom Boese?

SDV,

“Mary, surely you will want to continue to support Nick in his view of women and justify his Biblical teachings.”

I think, if you learned how to interpret what people are saying, you would find, that those are NOT Nick’s views of woman, but rather the Bible’s view!!  Many religions until recently, would not even allow women to preach in the church and the Bible does say that Eve inticed Adam to eat the fruit that started sin and got them kicked out of the garden.  Also, the Bible says that women should be subserviant to men, in many places.  Stop trying to spin the Bible, it says what it says!!!

Bob in and etal.

Please read the Bible in light of the times in which it was written, to whom it was written, and the purpose for which it was written at that time.

I firmly believe all Scripture is divinely inspired and have had to read some passages several times to completely understand, plus a Christian first prays for wisdom to understand.

The Bible Answer Man, Hank Hannegraff explains Scripture the best, though even he admits there are a few areas that we can have differences, but the basics is all the same.

One can quote anything, including the Bible, out of context to make it fit a given situation.  This is done with a lot of what WM managers say-- my answer to them is; carefully choose your words before you say them.  I am applying for the job to teach them how to think first, before inserting “stinky” foot into mouth.

All have a great and Blessed Day from one who completely believes in the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sage

Answer something for me, please. I am a former Catholic and I’m sure they still count me as one of their flock. But please give me a clear answer. The Bible is God’s word, correct? Yet, it was written after the fact, on the basis of oral tradition, translated and re-translated through the years, books were added and books were subtracted, etc. The Bible is God’s word. It says what it says. Who are you as a human to interpret it to mean what you WANT it to say? If the Bible is God’s word, should human beings have the right to pick and choose what they will and will not believe? If you deny that the Bible is sexist, you are denying the words as written, thus, you invalidate the argument that the Bible is God’s word. You cannot have it both ways. If you say we have to understand the Bible in the context of the time in which it was written, then you say that it is irrelevant to modern times.

Keep in mind, I am a logical person. I think absolute beliefs that come from emotion and not from fact (have you ever seen God?) are ridiculous. That is why I also oppose atheism. You cannot say for sure whether or not God exists. You can’t say He does and you can’t say He doesn’t. That is why I call myself an Agnostic. I am a logical human and I need proof to believe in something. Beliefs based on emotions or the words of others are not beliefs. Facts are what matter.

Bob, Nick is capitulating that he does not know what the Bible says or really means. And obviously you don’t know anything about the Word of God.

The subject of women is expressed with great dignity in Scripture. While the creation of the woman is different, it speaks to purpose and not abuse or second class status as you would like it to. Women are equally in need of salvation and can obtain everlasting life through Jesus Christ just like men in the same need. While the exercise of women has its own design, that does not make them without gifts and excellence of office from time to time.
I have heart felt respect and admiration for Margaret Thatcher, what an outstanding woman in the political arena that helped to confront and transform Soviet communism. Her perception was the lead with ‘This is a man we can do business with.’ concerning Mikhail Gorbachev. At this time right now take note of U.S. Army Major General Gale Norton Army Surgeon General and many women who have attained rank and position in society. The Bible does not condemn successful women even though you and Nick would narrowly restrict the exercise of gifted women with an ignorant and inept interpretation of scripture. You do not even know the purpose and context of what you two are quoting.
There are many very notable women in the Bible beginning with Eve and her tangle with the second most powerful entity in existence. She was subject to deception and there was plenty of punishment to go around. It is true that Adam was punished because he ‘hearkened unto the voice of the woman’ and had become unwittingly part of the ingenious Satanic plan of interference upon and separation of man from God.
Abilgail showed great foresight and diplomacy with King David. The Old Testament is filled with women of excellence and with the evil example of Jezebel showing the sin nature cast upon men and women alike. As fallen creatures, they are no different. Queen Esther who saved her people and Ruth both having Scripture titled after them. Women were the first to proclaim the resurrection (Matt. 28:8). Anna is given express note as a Jewish woman that ‘spake’ of the Lord in the temple for decades to those seeking redemption. Lois and Eunice are noted by Paul in 2 Timothy.
Husbands are instructed to ‘love’ their wives as Christ so ‘loved’ the church and gave himself for us. The value of the woman is undiminished ( an express command of the intensity of God’s love) and lifted above any hint of abuse or second class status. Women are partners commanded to give due respect of the leadership of husbands (Ephesians 5) and husbands are commanded to ‘give honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;...’(1 Peter 3:7). The Word of God needs to be handled in the spirit (2 Cor. 3:6). You and Nick are easy to spot as desperate amateurish liars taking the Word of God out of context and misusing it for poor propaganda convenience. It is difficult for you Nick to think of women beyond stripper status by your own analogy. But try this. The woman at the well became an evangelist (John 4: 27-30).

Nick—I will answer your post a little later as I am in a hurry at the moment.

SDV—I don’t understand how you can claim to be a true born again Christian and post as you do.  You have distorted
so much of Scripture.

Adam did not have to eat of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge-- God told him not to.  He had free will.  He was deceived by Eve only to the extent that he believed a lie and not the command from his God & Creator...........Don’t we still do this today????? Abortion, homosexuality, etc.

“You have distorted so much of Scripture.”
Sage the weak-

Your noted at best for being a sophomoric fraud Sage. You remind me of a hybrid cross between Neville Chamberlain, Jim Bakker and a fat Louie Anderson.

You are a ‘luke warm’ novice of the Word of God. You are neither fervent or zealous for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Proven repeated posted indifference to express commands about the body being the temple of the Holy Spirit and spinning with deliberate evasiveness about WalMart being the world’s leading retail supplier of preventable cancer and without identifying WalMart complicity in your Bentonville kiblah. It is not surprising in your betrayal of the Word of God that you make no call upon WalMart to stop selling cigarettes. Typical in a refusal to recognize Satanic interference and attack upon mankind.

It is not unusual for novice amatuerish types like yourself to mishandle the Word of God and ignore the finer details. It helps to look at things in greater detail, especially when you don’t want to.

WalMart- Agentic shifting to move notice of original acts from Satanic interference to Adam’s ‘free will’. Rebellion is deliberate and calculated just like WalMart’s corporate behavior from the Bentonville slobs.
Deception, distortion, concealment, subtlety, evasion, distraction, misrepresentation, lies, etc these are the methods employed by WalMart and their PR crew.

Quick everyone… SDV is off his meds again… Call 911

Mary-

Is the requirement to answer for others when they cannot from the ‘war room’ bunker answer for themselves? Your contribution is noted as your best effort. Perhaps another one of your WalMart/Edelman Panamanian swamp weasels can compose something better for you next time since you lack Biblical study.

Sage,

As there are many versions of the Bible, maybe SDV is using one that is different than the King James version!!

Wrong again Bob.

“‘give honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;...’(1 Peter 3:7)
KJV

Too bad you don’t know the Bible and would rather speculate, Bob.

SDV,

“Too bad you don’t know the Bible and would rather speculate, Bob.”

I do know this, I have been married to the same woman for 43 years and I honor and respect her, can you say the same?

Bob, may I suggest you take a serious reading of John chapter 3 to heart. Wisdom begins with knowing what you don’t know.

Ken B

Mary?  Is there another Ken in your life? Say it isn’t so!  ((sob)))

S.D. View,

You said to The Sage “It is not surprising in your betrayal of the Word of God that you make no call upon WalMart to stop selling cigarettes”.

You mentioned CostCo a time or two around here.  If you tell them to stop selling smokes, I am sure Sage will oblige with WalMart.

Jack,

If there is a CostcoWatch or WakeUpCostco site then the same moral imperative would have posted application. I did not know that Costco sells smokes. I call on them to stop if they do.

“...I am sure Sage will oblige with WalMart.”

Again it is not surprising that Biblically weak need leadership in such a matter, but how would you know what Sage would oblige himself towards, Jack?
