Say No to Walmart in Staten Island and all of NYC

PLEASE SIGN IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY AND TO HELP STOP THE SMALL BUSINESSES MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR WORKING CLASS FROM BEING DESTROYED.

Walmart will kill businesses in Staten Island, will make no competition and will fight every person trying to start a union to help working conditions they are used to abusing. When all it's competition is killed everything will be made outside the US and people will be forced to buy what they sell. So a few jobs created will actually kill thousands of jobs. Please read the link above and watch the documentary, Wal-Mart The High Cost of Low Price.

Forbes magazine, polling business executives (not employees) has ranked Wal-Mart among the best 100 corporations to work for. Yet the employees on average take home pay of under $250 a week. The salary for full-time employees (called “associates”) is $6 to $7.50 an hour for 28-40 hours a week, which is typical in the discount retail industry. This pay scale places employees with families below the poverty line, with the majority of employees’ children qualifying for free lunch at school.

When closely examined, this amounts to a form of corporate welfare, as the taxpayer subsidizes the low salaries. One-third are part-time employees – limited to less than 28 hours of work per week – and are not eligible for benefits. Why do you think they are against unions?
