A Walmart in Ohio has set up donation boxes in its break room
soliciting food gifts for, wait for it…Walmart employees. That’s right. The
retail Goliath brought in $15.7 billion in profits last year, yet it can’t pay
employees enough to feed themselves.
What’s interesting is how management at the store apparently
doesn’t see the sad irony. If you were paying your workers a livable wage,
donations wouldn’t be necessary. Once again, it is glaring glimpse of how
oblivious the haves are about the plight of the have-nots. Republicans at the
state and national levels consistently oppose raising the minimum wage based on
bogus talking points supplied to them by industry lobbyists.
Merry Christmas, Walmart employees. Here’s a can of cranberry sauce.
