As for how they treat their employees, I'm not too sure about that either. As far as I know, they are the biggest employer in the US, and when you consider the trickle down effect, there are millions of people employed because of Wal-Mart. When you employee that many people, you are going to come across a few disgruntled employees, but you will also find many who are thrilled to be working there.
About how the employees are treated.
In Quebec, the workers tried to get a union (like many others) going & guess how Wal-mart solved it?
They closed the whole store. It was brand new too, I think 1-2yrs old.

The Doc. on tv said that Wal-Mart has also fired people or "ring leaders" for tring to start a union.

Remember the part where they scared some of these "ring leaders"?

or how about the parts where SOO many people we're being mugged & raped in the Wal-Mart parkings lots over & over & Wal-Mat didin't give a crap

To me thats BAD treatment of employees!!
