I saw this report on Anderson Cooper 360 for the first time and it made my stomach turn. The Shank’s trip to the Supreme Court failed. Wal-Mart has decided to continue with the lawsuit citing “fairness to the employees who pay into the insurance benefit.” Give me a frickin break! A company with billions has the power to let this one ride.
THE CLINTON CONNECTION TO WALMART
Many will recall the debate between Hilary and Barack Obama when Hilary accused Obama of defending a slum landlord, and Obama accused Hilary of sitting on the Board of Wal-Mart. It’s true. She sat on the Wal-Mart Board for 6 years and Wal-Mart recently donated half a million to the Clinton library. (Is this why we can’t get Hilary’s tax returns?)
Wal-Mart has been in the news for years due to their unfair practices against employees, slave labor and racial discrimation, but this latest story has made me say, “Screw Wal-Mart. They’ll never get another dollar from me.”

This is INJUSTICE in it’s highest form. When are we as law-abiding decent people going to step in and say “Enough is Enough?”
P.S. – WalMart owns Sam’s Club !!

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED?
UPDATE:
Tell Wal-Mart to Keep Its Promise to the Shanks!
Remember when Wal-Mart told Jim Shank on April 1 that the company would not claim Debbie Shank’s money in her trust so it could be used for her medical care? Apparently, Wal-Mart is not keeping its promise to Debbie and her family.
After a massive public outcry against Wal-Mart’s efforts to sue this brain-damaged former employee for the money in her trust, Wal-Mart finally agreed to let Debbie keep her money to pay for her ongoing medical care. But it’s a month later, and Wal-Mart has failed to make good on its word.

They were never planning on keeping their promise. I don’t shop at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart treats their employees like scum; like a third-world country. The only thing Wal-Mart cares about is the almighty dollar.
