Walmart Pledges To Hire 100,000 Veterans In The Next Couple Of Years - At Low Pay. WHAT GALL!!!

As veteran I consider a job at Walmart at their pay level and insult. Why would I work for a company that would not only deny me a right to be in a union but viciously attack me, propagandize me, blackball me et al if I were to even try to organize to be in a union. Why would I even want to go near an employer who would deny me the freedom of rights I risked my life for.

Walmart is a criminal organization like the mafia. They have no reluctance to break the law and act like tyrants. Why would I work for a company I would never shop it. It is un American.

If all the private sector can do for our vets after two wars is promise jobs where you qualify for food stamps then anyone who enlists is a sucker.

I'm not a fan of Walmart, not a fan of any of their board members, either, past or present.

and housing assistance. Marine families at Camp Pendleton are on food stamps and housing assistance. I once lived at an apartment complex in Lakeside, CA where Marine families lived. They had no money on weekends to do anything but to sit on the steps with their buddies drinking Bud with the wife standing there pregnant holding an infant.
