Picture in the trib about the employees protesting Walmart today. Good for them, everyone deserves
jobs with justice, including Walmart employees.
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleynewsdispatch/s_679615.htmlWalmart's massive Betty Dukes discrimination suit is in the process of heading to the SCOTUS
for review:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7116313.eceWhat makes me sick about walmart, is the lack of dignity they treat their employees with.
The old additive is true... if you run a SCAB operation and are a SCAB boss... you'll get poor
results and poor moral. Walmart is the epitmony of corporate greed and corporate welfare.
Alcoa CEO (and former treasury head) Paul ONeill recently spoke about the dignity of valuing employees and treating them
right. It is an important lesson that I think we should all take from:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/westmoreland/s_676349.htmlWhat concerns me, as in the midst of corporate welfare from Walmart and the Unions fighting the good fight,
they choose to endorse a shareholder in this kind of behavior, none other than Joe Sestak. Sestak should,
if he was really for UFCW, have come out and denounced Walmart's corporate welfare tactics, that
put the burden on taxpayers. But what does Sestak do? He invests in this kind of corporation. Sestak had Walmart as part of
his investment portfolio for his 2007 and 2008 disclosures, which would lead one to ask WTF?
http://www.nodoughjoe.org/It is VERY Symbolic of how much Joe Sestak is willing to say one thing and do another. Unquestionably, UFCW
rank and file, the same engaged in the Wake Up Walmart campaign likely dont know of this discpicable behavior by Rep. Sestak.
As a shareholder, Rep. Sestak should have long ago withdrew and transferred his money out of investing in the corporate giant.
This is not a smear. Its the truth. Its a consistent pattern that Rep. Sestak preaches one think and does another. He pays
his relatives good salaries, while does not even pay his campaign employees the minimum wage. He gets the
UFCW endorsement (one of the few union endorsements), and invests in a profitable giant Walmart that values
the dignity of workers and American made products very little.
As for Arlen Specter,
http://walmartwatch.com/blog/archives/investors_worried_about_specter/it is quite clear who is the Senator speaking out for Pennsylvania workers against goods and jobs being shipped
to China. Specter recently testified for USW at the International Trade Commission
and saved 40,000 tire jobs from heading overseas. Sestak... he still invests in the profit those cheap sweatshop lead
Chinese Walmart products produce.
