Wal-Mart is the largest employer in the United States. Yet, they have some of the most punitive and anti-labor worker rules in the country. Employees are issued "demerits" for calling in sick that lead to termination. This policy has their employees coming to work while ill and contagious, spreading sickness and flu among the general population.
It's a bad policy.
The Postal Press Association, in support of the National Labor Committee (NLC), has requested union employees click here and sign the petition. The NLC is trying to get 100,000 signatures to force Wal-Mart to change their policies toward their workers.
As of this writing, just over 40,000 signatures had been obtained.
