Wal-Mart
is a threat to your job, wages and
benefits. It is a threat to working
America 's standard of living.
Wal-Mart employs more people than
any company in America - with 1.4
million employees and profits of
over $10 billion last year.
Wal-Mart's low-wages and inadequate
benefits drag down wages and
conditions for all working
Americans. Now, Wal-Mart has set its
sights on the supermarket industry.
With their new Neighborhood Markets,
Wal-Mart is out to turn good jobs
with good benefits into low-wage
jobs with inadequate benefits.
WAL-MART DESTROYS JOBS: Wal-Mart doesn't create jobs, it destroys them. Studies show that for every two jobs created by a Wal-Mart store, the community loses three. Local businesses are destroyed and community living standards get lowered when Wal-Mart moves into the neighborhood. A new report from the non-profit Good Jobs First uncovers $1 billion in tax subsidies to Wal-Mart. Click here to read the report.
