Old--

Will you ever start using your head?

Re: absenteeism: When somebody calls in to work to say they will not be in, do they not hae to give a reason?

Point is: the 800 number approach will take away the discretion a supervisor used to have--somebody who actually knows the worker.

I quoted, from the WSJ, a man who works at Walmart full-time.   I already listed the changes Walmart is instituting , and I will not again--- if you're too lazy to check my earlier post, that tells me what I need to know.

The Walmart worker stated his belief that it was a campaign to discourage people with health problems from applying for jobs at Walmart--and that Walmart intended to cut down on the number of full-time workers.

You have provided not one shred of evidence to counter this assertion.




Re: "made in USA".

Glad to see you finally admit that the number of products Walmart sells that they even claim are "made in USA" is small.

Re: Marianas: I suspect it's next to impossible to determine what products come from the Marianas under sweat-shop conditions.

Point is: smug assertions that the "made in USA" label means good labor conditions are not justified.

The cheaper they are, the more likely somebody was underpaid to make them--and probably not in the mainland US.   That that doesn't bother you--nor does the systematic mistreatment by Walmart of its own workers--says worlds about you.
