Where does one begin when providing a list of bad & criminal behavior by Walmart...there are way too many things to list here but I'll provide several examples of why this corporation should be brought to its knees...Down With Corporate America!
Walmart tells newly hired employees that all of the news about the 'bad' things they have done is a complete lie.
Walmart demands that their employees participate in a 'spirit' chant before they begin their shift.

an online medical transcription company out of Franklin, Tennessee (Recently acquired by Medquist in a bankruptcy proceeding) that I hired on with in August, 2007 after graduating, with high honors, from an accredited medical transcription course. During my seven months of employment I maintained a 99.5% to 100% accuracy rate and was promoted to an entry level 2 MTE/MT (medical text editor--medical transcriptionist) after 6 months of employment!
However, in 7 short months, all I got from them was: |
|
Problems with W-4; improper tax deductions; it took three pay periods to correct due to Payroll games (I was e-mailed a copy of form W-4, I filled it out, I faxed it back, and it was denied because it wasn't a legal copy--faxed. I had to send a copy via regular postal service).
401k Fraud! I received a company email to sign up for, or opt out of, the 401k program, I went to the given website and opted out. Upon review of my next paycheck stub I found that I had been fraudulently signed up for the 401k program and money had been taken from me. I contacted my employer's payroll department and the investment company and outright accused them of fraud. They, the investment company, agreed to close the 401k account after I told them that I was going to turn them and my employer in to The Securities and Exchange Commission (my employer denies any responsibility for the 401k program).

Medical insurance; Costly misunderstanding. In short, I signed my family and I up for medical, dental and vision insurance, and, due to a misunderstanding, it cost twice what was expected! However, as it turned out, this was not a "qualifying" health plan (special tax provision which allows them to pay a lower minimum wage...see Laws, Policies & More) and became the primary evidence for my wage claim which I won!
Workers’ Comp nightmare! On the day of the incident, a Sunday, I e-mailed my supervisor and I left a voice mail stating that I had a work related injury. However, there is no supervision on Sundays so I received no reply. On Monday I e-mailed my supervisor again and she came back with a snotty remark--"what do you want me to do about it?"--so I informed her of company policy on reporting an industrial injury and I never heard from her again. After a long period of time I received an e-mail from the HR Benefits Administrator containg an industrial injury report form which I filled out and e-mailed back. After an hour passed, I e-mailed the HR Benefits Rep back and asked what I was suppoed to do and he asked if I had been to a doctor and I said no. He then told me I had to pay to see a doctor, have the doctor determine that the injury is work related, fax him a copy of the doctor's report, and then he would decide whether or not I had a workers' comp claim (illegal). I went to my doctor's office, which was also an Industrial Clinic, had problems with the receptionist letting me see the doctor, saw the doctor who determined that I did have a work related injury and began treatment which included total temporary disabilty. The HR Benefits Rep told me to fax him the doctor's report, but he repeatedly rejected the copies I sent saying he could not see them. I had the doctor's office send a few copies for me , but they refused to continue doing it for me. After more than three weeks of treatment, I received a phone call from the administrating insurance company's claim handler and he wanted to know who had the form C-4. I informed him that I had a copy, the doctor's office had a copy, and my employer had a copy and then I asked why? He said he did not have a copy as he never received one (mandatory by state law that he receive a copy within 5 days of the reported injury). I called and had words with the HR Benefits Rep, he screamed at me ("listen up little missy!"), I screamed back at him, and told him I would be going after him and my employer, Shperis!
~I have taken many actions against my employer, the doctor's office, and the insurance company and I have prevailed in every case that has been settled!
*I filed a wage claim against SPHERIS for improperly paid wages. Here are the 5 (FIVE) labor laws they were found to be in violation of:
1. Nevada Constitution~Failure to pay minimum wage.
2. NAC 608.102~Minimum wage lower rate qualification.
3. NAC 608.104~Insurance premium exceeds 10 percent gross taxable income.
4. NRS 608.040~Failure to pay in a timely manner.
5. NRS 608.195~Every person violating any of the provisions of NRS 608.005 to 608.190, inclusive, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Two of Spheris' clients are Scott & White out of Texas and Stanford Medical Center out of California.
~I am currently dealing with SPHERIS illegally placing me on FMLA (family medical leave of absence) and taking money from me. Come back soon to see what was accomplished.

| More employers who behave badly & criminally: |
|
Anixter (Reno, NV): This company penalizes people for quitting on the spot or giving two weeks notice. Nevada is a right-to-work state and under Nevada law an employer and an employee may terminate employment for any reason and two weeks notice is not required. This company states that an employee who does not give two weeks notice is never rehirable! Again, illegal by Nevada labor law.
Barrels O' Candy (Virginia City, NV): The owner of this store took unemployment insurance money from the employee and failed to pay that insurance to the state and when the employee was let go there wasn't any money paid in on their behalf. The former employee received no benefits and the store owner got away with stealing money from him!
Cabela's (Reno, NV): Failed to pay prevailing wages to the workers who built their store. The city of Reno filed a wage claim on behalf of the workers, and, the last I heard, Cabela's told the city of Reno that they were not going to pay any prevailing wages and the issue is going before the Nevada Supreme Court. Corporate Scumb!!!

Dogz, Inc. (Reno, NV): This company makes employees work off of the clock and fails to pay Nevada minimum wage!
Hobey's Casino & Restaraunt (Sun Valley, NV): This company violates Nevada's minimum wage law and the law about uniforms. NRS 608.250 & NRS 608.165
Rainbow Market (Sun Valley, NV): The manager counts the cashiers' cash drawers in the back room without them and then tells them their drawer is short...usually $50 short. After an employee's cash drawer comes up short twice, they are terminated and never allowed back into any of their stores. It appears the manager is stealing money and blaming the employees! |
|
West (Reno, NV): This company steals hours from their employees!
Winner's Corner (Reno, NV): This company violates Nevada labor laws. NRS 608.165 All uniforms or accessories distinctive as to style, color or material shall be furnished, without cost, to employees by their employer. Our son was hired and fired within 24 hours because he had not purchased the proper color shoes and the proper texture pants!

"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable and sacred right--a right we hope and believe is to liberate the world."
Abraham Lincoln
Below are more of my favorite quotes...what are yours?
"The most heroic word in all languages is--REVOLUTION!"
Eugene Debs
"It is an observation of one of the profoundest inquiries into human affairs that a revolution of government is the strongest proof that can be given by a people, of their virtue and good sense."
John Adams
"In the abstract theory of our government the obedience of the citizen is not due to an unconstitutional law: he may lawfully resist its execution."
John Quincy Adams
"An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters."
Henry Clay, politician
"If the State cannot survive the...agitation, then let the State perish. If the Church must be cast down by the sturgglings of Humanity to be free, then let the American Union be consumed by a living thungerbolt, and no tear shed over its ashes. If the Republic must be blotted out from the roll of nations, by proclaiming liberty to the captives, then let the Republic sink beneath the waves of oblivion, and a shout of joy, louder than the voice of many waters, fill the universe at its extinction."
William Lloyd Garrison
"Revolution is the only thing, the only power, that ever worked out freedom for any poeple. The powers that have ruled long, and learned to love ruling, will never give up that prerogative till they find they must, till they see the certainty of overthrow and destruction if they do not! ... To plant--to revolutionize--those are the twin stars that have ruled our pathway. What have we then to dread in the word Revolution--we, the children of rebels! We were born to be rebles--it runs in our blood."
Wendell Phillips
"Full opportunity for full development is the unalienable right of all. He who denies it is a tyrant, he who does not demand it is a coward; he who is indifferent to it is a slave; he who does not desire it is dead. The earth for all the people! That is the demand."
Eugene Debs
"If we do not soon bestir ourselves for a bloody revolution, we cannot leave anything to our children but poverty and slavery."
Die Arbeiter Zeitung, Chicago labor paper
"We can't have education without revolution. We have tried peace education for 1,900 years and it has failed. Let us try revolution and see what it will do now."
Hellen Keller
"Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty."
Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice
"That circumstances sometimes justify it...(revolution) is not Communist doctrine but an old American belief." Justice Jackson
"Wherever one goes in this civilized world, one always finds the same set-up. The little man, the man who does the dirty work, the producer is of no importance, recieves no consideration and is always being asked to make the greatest sacrifice. Yet everything depends on this forgotten man. Not a wheel could turn without his support and co-operation. It is this man, whose number is legion, who has no voice in world affairs...he knows that he has been robbed and cheated from time immemorial. He is suffocated with all this bitter knowledge. He waits and waits hoping that time will alter things. And slowly he realizes that time alters nothing, that with time things only grow worse. One day, he will decide to act. "Wait!" he will be told. "Wait just a little longer" But he will refuse to wait another second."
Henry Miller

"There is a political feudalism where a dynasty has the trappings of a parliamentary system but manipulates it for the benefit of the ruling class...Revolution in theTwentieth Century means rebellion against another kind of feudalism...economic feudalism...and the United States should promote democratic revolution against these conditions of economic feudalism."
William Douglas, Supreme Court Jusitice
"They set up the courts; they set up the police; they set up the army; they set up an educational system; they set up the newspaper; they set up all the apparatus to brainwash and to keep in subjugation. If we're going to be free, and we will not be fully free until we smash this state completely and totally...no people in this world have ever achieved independence and freedom through the ballot or having it legislated to them. (They) got their freedom through struggle and through revolution."
William Epton
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without...a rebellion."
Thomas Jefferson
