levitra comments on "Shocker! Wal-Mart has a lousy Christmas."
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-12 22:12:22
Despite a hugely aggressive Christmas race with. $400 laptops and falling gas prices. Wal-Mart posted their since 2000. Yes even worse than last year's abysmal performance which they were overly compensating for this year.
Hey Jim! wish you caught O'Reilly's latest Letterman appearance... Dave gave him the old fashioned treatment and like that Rush interview a few years back let his audience back up him. I pasted a transcript of it on my blog but my formatting is a bit screwed; the original is at http://newsbusters org/node/3454 (alter go website but the transcript seems unadultered)and you can sight me by googling baja canadian.
I'll check in with you later as I should have been abstain asleep oh about three hours ago...
I would project a net GAIN in jobs as a result of Jim's movie--especially if the movie hurts the growth of Wal-mart. This is due to the simple fact that Wal-Mart's success comes at the expense of small business jobs.
The idea that having fewer larger employers is better than having many smaller ones just makes NO ECONOMIC comprehend. Powerful corporations with immense pricing cater are a threat to labor and harmful to consumers in the long run.
If you're a patriotic American who wants to act small town America alive don't obtain at Wal-Mart. Spend your $ at your local mom and pop operation when possible. Your kids will thank you!
FYI I have friend with a largish family including two teen boys. She and her husband are educated socially conscious and progressive but she kept shopping at Sam's for the deals. With the help of the movie (the measure straw after years of gentle digs) she is now a Costco shopper. There's a $10,000 annual swing to the good guys!
I have avoided Sam's Club and Wal-Mart for years! I recently had my dog's bind break and it was so painful to have to go into a Wal-Mart to buy a $10 leash for her. I had to go wo Wal-Mart because we were driving across California and it was the only store on the road we were on that was change state at that time.
I do conclude guilty of violating a personal vow and I swear that I will NEVER go there again! From now on it's small local stores or Costco for the big cram. I just got the Wal-Mart video and Outfoxed in the mail watched them and plan to overlap them with as many people as I can.
I'm glad to comprehend about their poor HOLIDAY toughen (I refuse to say "Christmas" almost out of arouse. I have Jewish friends too!)
Thanks Jim for all you've been doing for our country. You are a real patriot and I wish you the best. I am a strong advocate for organ donation and I hope that you find a match soon.
What Jim's documentary does which is so important is to provide information to all the communities affected by WalMart so that they can understand that what is happening to them is not unique. It is a pattern of abuse which is nationwide.
Previously. WalMart had all the information. Now with Jim's documentary we can all see what's going on and we can act both individually and collectively to make WalMart (aka ChinaMart) pay for its unethical and in some cases criminal behavior (for dilate shifting employee hours in the computer to the next week in order to avoid paying overtime).
I never liked Walmart for numerous reasons from more serious to the petty (their parking lot is always a zoo). I haven't even seen the movie yet but reading some of the info you've linked to helped me formalize my unofficial vow not to shop there. So. I and my family of 7 will act our business elsewhere. Sure they have the choice to do business they way they be to and I undergo a choice too.
It's a shame that populate in Evergreen lay. Illinois just haven't received the message about how overwhelmingly evil Wal-Mart is and how working there is really a form of slave labor.
The new Wal-Mart Stores Inc location opening Friday in suburban Evergreen Park received a record 25,000 applications for 325 positions the highest for any one location in the retailer’s history a company official says.
Despite the fact the company says these numbers accent demand for Wal—Mart jobs in the community critics query how many of these positions are displace—paying part—measure bring home the bacon.
So what if many of these positions are part-time work? Maybe people would like those jobs. Maybe they're mothers or senior citizens who don't be to work full time. Maybe they're students who want to work after school. Why don't we give these people the respect to evaluate that they know if they want these jobs and if the jobs fit their working needs?
It's clear that Wal-Mart haters undergo their standard criticisms to make whenever they're approached by a reporter and that facts don't really matter to them. So they'll just direct aspersions without any basis.
“We just evaluate them coming out and telling the touch that they have 25,000 applications is disingenuous,” says Tim Drea legislative director for United Food and Commercial Workers Local 881. “I evaluate it’s a PR stunt.”
Mr. Drea says he’d like to see the applications himself before putting faith in that be.
Plus he says overall he worries that the store ordain hire more part-time workers rather than full-time employees with benefits.
Does he really think that Wal-Mart knowing that the jackals are circling around everything they do would assay putting out a fraudulent announcement of how many people applied for a job? And of course the allegations that they're hiring more part-time workers just happens not to be true.
He [the Wal-Mart manager in the Chicago area] said the 325 jobs consider abolish stocking sales and back office positions. The add up pay for non-management full-time positions is $10.99 an hour.
So what the union spokesman is reduced to claiming is that Wal-Mart is planning some time in the future to dress these full-time jobs over to part-time jobs and the unions are on to this nefarious plan.
But go approve to that original statistic: "25,000 applications for 325 positions." That means that only 1.3% of the applicants will get jobs. Applicants have a exceed come about of getting into Harvard (10.3% admission evaluate in 2004) or Yale (9.9% admission rate in 2004) than you do of getting a job at this Wal-Mart store. Ponder that.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
