Wal-Mart employed more than any other company in Alabama.
Alabama
Wal-Mart employed nearly 34,000 Alabama residents as of February 2015, more than any other company in the state. Of the 138 retail stores Wal-Mart operates in Alabama, 99 are supercenters. According to the company, the average wage for full-time hourly associates was $12.57 an hour.
You mentioned you "work for the DOD" who are your employees?, Who fills the DOD contracts in Alabama?
Does Alabama prison slave labor fill all the DOD contracts? This may explain why some of your mentioned "northern DOD co-workers are more racist then the kkk"
IMO, prison labor IS slavery and the management are modern day massas.
