No one working 28 hours a week should be getting OT. What happened to an honest day's pay for an honest day's work? And since when did benefits (i.e., health insurance) become entitlements? If WalMart's employment policies aren't to someone's liking then they are advised to seek employment elsewhere. Its not like the old mining towns of the 19th century where pennies per day was the only option and you were lucky to get it.
Yet, everyone seems to enjoy WalMart's low prices. Maybe WalMart is passing the savings along to the consumer in the form of low prices. Hrm....
HEY, let's pass a law freezing WalMart's prices but make them pay OT
and 100% healthcare costs - we'll
definitely win the election that way! **pats self on back**
Oh, and let's pass another law to prohibit them from firing anyone too! Checkmate, WalMart! Man, I'm on a roll, baybee - let's see how the GOP can stop me now!
