Full-time jobs that don’t pay a living wage should be illegal. No matter how “beneath” you the job feels, if we need someone to do it “full-time” then anything less than a full living is a rip off, and you have to either advocate for taxpayers to subsidize the employer’s greed or that they overwork to make a living.
It blew mi mind today when i read that people work at Walmart AND collect food stamp. What is even the point of working if you can’t afford to live?
That’s been known and publicly stated for what feels like a decade or more. Good to know NOTHING has been done about it.
I’m pretty sure its in Walmart’s on-boarding process to instruct new employees to apply to welfare programs. If your multibillion dollar corporation is pushing their employees onto government assistance than what the fuck is the point of working. You know that nothing you do will get you a better salary because they aren’t just doing this to you but thousands, maybe millions, across the US and globally. And the c-suite is raking in billions in profit that they squeeze from their employees. But don’t worry Walmart had a college repayment program so they are giving back /s
Their on boarding process 10 years ago also implicitly told you that they would fire you if you attempted to unionize, and even explicitly told you to report your coworkers to management if they talked about a union.
It’s extremely illegal, but I’ve never heard of them getting in trouble for it.
That’s because we gained workers rights by force and ever since: the elite have been driving us (the working class) apart from each other to make us isolated and powerless.
