Red Pepper this month is carrying a report on Walmart and touches upon its employee record. Some of their great achievements
-Union busting , they outsourced a lot of their butcher shops after one shop formed a union
-Breaking labour laws on the employment of children
-No breaks and working unpaid beyond rostered times.
The worst perhaps was this:
The zenith, or rather nadir, of the corporation’s disregard for its staff was exposed in its ‘Dead Peasants Insurance’; policies taken out on a number of low level workers in an attempt to profit from their deaths
Other criticisms from here, goes into some details:
