Everyone forced to work at Walmart, no wait, ANYWHERE, no matter their position/function should demand and be provided whatever salary or hourly rate of pay that they alone have pre-determined will allow them to "make it". Really, its so simple! This idea of mine could work my brothers and sisters. Lets get legs under this thing doods. Its us against "The MAN" man. Right on! Wait, I just thought it through Justin. Our next Eminem CD would likely end up being about $275.50 Never mind. On Thu, 22 Dec 2005 04:28:28 GMT, justindavid wrote: Could you make it on a WalMart salary? More than 30 million Americans make $9.00 or less per hour. That's just about poverty level. That would pretty much be correct for a family of four based upon the 2004 stats: $18,850. Say one wage earner at$9/h and a 40 hour week X 52 = 18720. The poverty level in 2004 for an individual was $9,310. dxAce Michigan USA |

Wal-Mart Ordered to Pay $172 Million by Jury
"What was compelling for the jury was that we put a lot of evidence before them of memos by Wal-Mart from seven years ago that concluded they had been breaking the law," said Jessica Grant, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. "Instead of taking steps to solve the problem, Wal-Mart concealed it." Wal-Mart faces similar lawsuits in over 30 states, said Grant, whose firm is pressing two of the court challenges, one in Maryland and the other in Massachusetts, on behalf of 80,000 class-action plaintiffs. http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/5-12-22/36093.html "SeeingEyeDog" wrote in message ... Kaito (Degen) is a subsidiary of China National Electronics Import & Export Shenzhen Company (CEIEC ShenZhen) http://www.ceiecsz.com.cn/ The CEIEC company is a conglomerate who manufactures hundreds of electronic products with brand names such as Mastech, Sinometer, Unistar, Kaiwa, Epsic, Hisonic. The company is distributed in more than ten enterprises in the fields of international trade, real estate, financial securities and high & new tech industries. ANY Chinese company in China as large and broad as CEIEC inevitably is intimately associated with the PLA and the Chinese Communist Party. http://www.ceiecsz.com.cn/en/about.company.htm "dk" wrote in message oups.com... I'm as anti-Wal-Mart as they come, but I do remember seeing a photo review of the Degen factory on radiointel.com, and things looked pretty good. I just checked on the website and can't seem to come accross it for a link. From what I remember of it, the working conditions looked very good. |
