The Purpose of this picket line is to tell people why
Wal-Mart needs to change.
* Our taxes subsidize Wal-Mart through city
government subsidies, public housing assistance and
welfare for employees, full and part-time
* Wages below the poverty line force employees to
rely on government programs. Wal-Mart pays $1-$2 less
per hour than all other superstores
* Wal-Marts health care benefits are so poor,
employees are advised by managers to seek medical
public assistance.
* Wal-Mart is the subject of the largest gender
discrimination lawsuit in the history of America.
* Wal-Mart violates child labor laws, immigration
laws and forces unpaid overtime work.
* Wal-Mart forces smaller businesses to close,
impacting the entire region.
* Wal-Mart has its own plantation factories
overseas that produce most of its goods.
* Wal-Mart drains the area of economic well-being
and purchasing power, then moves on to build another
big box store, leaving an empty shell behind.
