Wal-Mart's Ad Campaign...what do you think?

You show me a big name company like Walmart and McDonalds that pays high wages and top notch health benefits.

Many companies take their cues from places like Walmart, who is so big they practically own the industry. If they don't provide healthcare, etc, then the other places won't either. If Walmart improved their employee benefits other companies would be pressured to follow suit.

PC< if you read the original post, or talked to people who work at wal mart, they DO offer benefits, including health care. It ain't great, but it's better than welfare.

I know that some people get benefits, but what about all the countless "temps" or people they hire only part time? I know at quite a few retail establishments there is schedule fixing to make sure people don't qualify for insurance.

Wal Mart offers benefits to all employees, full or part time, according to their website.

What Walmart does often is subcontract work. That is how they avoid responsibility. Example....the people who were cleaning the stores...the ones who were being paid $2.50 per hour? Walmart skated on it as they were employed by a subcontractor.
