TELL WAL-MART / ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
and even firings.Tell Wal-Mart enough is enough.
Sign the petition.
When Wal-Mart employees in Jacksonville, Texas, tried to form a union in their meat-cutting department, Wal-Mart responded by eliminating meat cutting in every single store.
Workers at a Wal-Mart store in Jonquière, Quebec, successfully formed a union. But rather than negotiate with the employees for better wages and health care, Wal-Mart shut down the entire store.
One after another the scandals emerge revealing Wal-Mart's ruthless campaign to prevent workers from forming unions. Tell Wal-Mart enough is enough:

You probably think you've heard all there is to hear about Wal-Mart's misdeeds. But do you know how far Wal-Mart goes to prevent its employees from standing up for themselves?
When Wal-Mart employees try to form a union, they face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, and even firings. Is this any way to treat employees who just want to negotiate for better wages, more affordable health care, and basic protections on the job?
New employees at Wal-Mart are often indoctrinated against unions the moment they're hired. During orientation Wal-Mart reportedly forces associates and management to:
Watch anti-union videos,
Read a section in the employee manual against unions, and
Learn the number of the hotline to call if they suspect a fellow employee of supporting a union.
It's wrong, and it's got to stop now.

It's a struggle of epic proportions: 1.3 million employees versus Wal-Mart. College students, single parents, the elderly—barely making enough to cross the poverty line, competing against the world's largest employer and corporation—raking in $10,000,000,000 in profits last year.
Clearly, Wal-Mart can afford to do the right thing and treat its workers with the respect they deserve. The question is, will it?
It's time to demand Wal-Mart stop denying its employees a voice at work. We need your help to take action today and sign our petition to Wal-Mart:

Thank you for taking action and standing up for Wal-Mart workers' rights.
Sincerely,
Liz Cattaneo

Hey this blog is not about stem cell from umbilical cord blood . Silly internet bringing me here :-) Funny I have been doing hours of research on stem cell from umbilical cord blood and it brought me to your blog on TELL WAL-MART / ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The web plays funny games sometimes. Anyways, I was reading your blog T. Scott Brineman and I think it is really cool. Keep up the great work.
If you do not mind I will snag your blog and put it in my favorites. I read a ton of stuff on here that interested me. Keep blogging away :-)
