As a Walmart employee here.
I totally support the strike.
Walmart management is very corrupt, associates are treated terribly.
We don't get benefits because they cut our hours to almost nothing, they short the store on associates so we never have enough people on the floor.
If you have a problem, you cant go to anyone because managers don't care and it's hard to get them to do anything, even when we go to corporate we hardly get anywhere.
Right now my managers are targeting me because I am pregnant and I am the only one in my department.
I work toys.
All the other associates are on leave until further notice, I get twenty hours a week. I do the job of my supervisor and the other regular associate.
I don't get a pay raise, I don't get help when I need it.
My manager doesn't care about toys, shes always in grocery so I am on my own.
I get yelled at cause I cant get my stuff done.
I cant do the job of three people in five hours.
I went to other people about the issue and they pretty much told me to deal with it.
Now that I am expecting I am seen as a burden and since I cant do hevy lifting, move bikes, ect... They are setting me up to be fired.
the other day I was written up for not being productive enough because I cant handle working the department in five hours. Kinda hard when I come in at five in the evening and kids trash it during the day, I have to do outs, stock, bin overstock, order items then go wherever if they throw me to a different department because they refuse to hire more help.
Walmart is a shithole company, they don't care about the workers all they care about is money.
I can go on and on about my store.
Like how the general manager shorted the store five hundred hours so he could get a bigger bonus.
From how a person in the dairy cooler got fired because they worked him to death his schedule was a full nine hour schedule he got off at one in the morning then her had to come back at five in the morning for another nine hour day. They kept doing that and since he was so exhausted he was rushed to the hospital and they fired him because of that.
He cant sue because he doesn't have the money to pay for it.
I can go on and on about how Walmart treats their workers...
