If we dont give them our blood by buying and working for them, they will die of asphyxiation. Boycott the giant corporations.

It amazes me how people complain about not making a livable wage and health benefits. I dare anyone to name one company or one job where someone can take a job that requires NO HIGHER EDUCATION..probably does not even require a HS diploma, but yet make a livable wage and still get health insurance benefits. Maybe working out in the sun on a construction site..but otherwise it doesn't exist This documentary is so shocking.

Even though you could have been surly, you took your responsibility as an employee seriously. I have the utmost respect for people who have had to endure working for this type of company.(At a bad time in my life, I too submitted to a place with uniforms and a uniform policy)But to still do it with personal values intact? Worthy of high praise.Cheers. Good for you. Even though you could have been surly, you took your responsibility as an employee seriously.

The current heir, is a seemingly delightful person...So she is either "insulated" from their systematic, worldwide human abuse, or she is aware.Great options.She is either clueless to the world around her...Or she is an evil empress of a slave camp.But, if they offer 10 dollars an hr and you need money....call 'em up. That's just being pragmatic. Don’t trust them. The current heir, is a seemingly delightful person…

Great options.

She is either clueless to the world around her…

Or she is an evil empress of a slave camp.

I was specifically telling this person, that "I", would prefer to work for a company with morals. But if Walmart pay him/her 9.00 an hour and the ma and pa can only pay 6.00 then you need to balance morals with paying rent or living behind the Walmart dumpsters.I Don't support monopolistic practices...I am just a witness to them. You and I can boycott Walmart all we want....but they appeal to the masses.And frankly, I don't know if they pay more....but if I was without a job....sorry I would take the higher offer.If they pay they same then it's all academic.

Wal-mart doesn't operate till now in India. But after seeing this documentary i can realise that how wal-mart cheating people and create monopoly by using dirty tricks. I think Wal-mart willn't sustain in long term unless they change their behaviour towards people and their employee. I don't want wal-mart at all in India. Hey, i am from India.

Get your facts straight. Unions allowed the great American middle class to exist. Without them, we are a class of masters and servants.

Have you ever decorated 4 cakes an hour? Had to stop what you were doing to answer a customer with a smile? Cleaned up after the deli people who trailed oil through the cake deco area because their equipment was also defective? Cleaned up after your fellow employees who were not only lazy but in a hurry to clock out before they were over in their hours? For $8.20 an hour, I was thankful to have a job job, but A LOT is expected for that $8,20 per hour. I can't say how many times I heard - NO Overtime. I worked 32 hours a week, and as a part time employee I would not be receiving benefits until after 1 year of employment. Was I making it, NO! As a single female with no children, most government programs do not apply to me. I have boycotted WM of late,, this gives me even more reason to. Thanks for the info.

There are no benefits to working at Wal-Mart and the average full-time employee CAN'T afford their rent, bills, and food for their families. If you think they can, maybe you should watch this again...Wal-Mart is not a good choice, nor will it ever be. It is a bad company who doesn't care how their employees live or survive...profit is their only goal. I really don’t think you watched this film or if you did, you didn’t take it to heart.

Wal-Mart tells it's employees of the government aid that is available to them before they start working. Wal-Mart employees make an average of $4,000 less than the federal poverty level family of four. It isn't the price of an appliance, but the price the workers must pay in order to give you the appliance at such a low cost. The CEOs of Wal-Mart make more money than any other company because they take all the workers hard-earned money and keep it for themselves, forcing the government to come in and try to help these families. If you watch the documentary very closely, you will understand the severeness of Wal-Mart's low prices.

Often times a lot of the pieces to a product is outsourced to reduce costs, and those pieces are shipped to the USA where they're assembled and then "stamped" made in the USA, when in actuality it was just assembled in the USA.
