Walmart Employees Ask Judge to Allow Class-Action Suit



Lawyers are asking a circuit court judge to decide whether some 230,000 Floridians can sue Walmart.

The class action lawsuit alleges the company has an unwritten policy not to pay for extra work from low-level employees.

Defense attorneys say a review of eight weeks of records from 20 Florida Walmart stores shows employees lost more than 22,000 hours of pay..

If the case meets the standards of a class action, all hourly Walmart employees in Florida would be allowed to join the suit.

Disability Rights Advocates, a non-profit law center, is currently investigating complaints we have received concerning discrimination by Walmart against deaf and hard of hearing employees.

If you have experienced discrimination by Walmart, such as failure to provide interpreters or other needed accommodations, please contact us at general@dralegal.org

You may also call us on TTY at (510)451-8716 or by phone at (510)451-8644.

Sincerely, Larry Paradis, Executive Director

"When I worked at Wal-Mart, we were routinely expected to work at times when we were not paid. The worst part of this was we were locked-in to the store at night. Every week, I worked at least one shift that went from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. When the store closed at the end of my shift, the manager or the person closing the store would lock the exterior doors but the hourly employees like me would have to remain in the store and restock merchandise and count out the cash registers, even though we had already clocked off and were not getting paid. The tasks we had to do after the store closed always took at least an hour-and-a-half, and often two hours. The doors weren't unlocked until the work was completed. There were other ways in which I wasn't paid for time I was working, as well, such as mandatory attendance at unpaid meetings, and times I had to work through lunch and breaks."

that article is just plain stupd. I stopped after reading the following:

It hauls off a stunning $220 billion a year from We the People (more in revenues than the entire GDP of Israel and Ireland combined).

and:

Despite its claim that it slashes profits to the bone in order to deliver "Always Low Prices," Wal-Mart banks about $7 billion a year in profits
Click to expand...

so, out of $220b in revenue, they are pulling in a whopping $7b in profits? That is less than a 3.5% profit margin. greedy bastards

They make a lot more than 7billion but that's what goes on the books after "expenses". 30 billion is probably more accurate but they spend a lot of the money to expand as one example. There are plenty of ways to hide the income.
Walmart isn't any great bargain anyhow. Most things they sell can be had for cheaper elsewhere around here. They were cheap when they first came in the area but they've been raising thier prices now that they ran the low cost department stores out of business.
 
i thought they did 1.2 billion $ of business a day???? so i highly doubt that they only do 220 a year.

to be the largest corporation in the world, you do MUCH more than 220$billion a year. GM once was top, but they have fallen.

There is a big difference between politically incorrect and illegal,

 
When all of the unions are dead and gone, the union haters will quickly become aware of the service they provided for all, even non union workers.
