Wal-Mart Watch Responds to Wal-Mart's Closure of Unionized Tire and Lube Express in Gatineau, Canada
WASHINGTON,
Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to Wal-Mart's closure of
the recently unionized Gatineau, Quebec Tire and Lube Express, Wal-Mart
Watch Executive Director David Nassar released the following statement:
"Wal-Mart's
closure of the recently unionized Tire and Lube Express auto shop in
Gatineau, Quebec shows how Wal-Mart is willing to do anything to keep
its workers from receiving better wages, decent benefits or fairer working
conditions. The Gatineau workers have merely exercised their human
rights under Canadian Law, something that is clearly unacceptable to
Wal-Mart.
"Later today, Wal-Mart Watch will launch a new web
site which features the real stories of Wal-Mart employees who are
suffering under Wal-Mart's low-wage, low-benefit business model.
"The closure in Canada clearly shows that Wal-Mart has no desire to change."
Fuck you Wal-Mart,
you are a huge reason that the American people are having hard
financial problems and you had led they way to giving our jobs
oversea's.

It is a travesty to even mention Wal Mart...poverty level wages, benefits that no employee can AFFORD...I saw a Wal Mart big shot being interviewed on television last night and it made me sick to my stomach how he changed the subject on several questions and never directly answered any of the questions honestly. The interviewer asked this Wal Mart dick how he could justify treating his employees this way; and would Sam be proud? Of course the piece of shit did not answer the simple question directly and honestly...instead, his focus shifted toward the costumers (customers who blindly put money into the corporate pockets of Wal Mart and not the regular workers) and how these customers keep making Wal Mart one of the biggest money makers yet today...in other words, he didn't give a rats ass about the job security of his workers...all Wal Mart cares about is getting huge amounts of cash from customers and living biliionaire lives while the workers face the realities of working for nothing...poverty. I'll bet Wal Mart executives got a wet one when they busted up a Union and once again treating the worker like shit.
