I worked for Mcdonalds in highschool and in college. There were wage and hour violation occuring everyday. I thought you work for the federal government - enough said if true. How many examples do you need? Do your own research, talk to someone at the department of labor since you are in Washington. Talk to people who work in the HR field. Do you really believe Walmart has a bigger proportional problem than others?

Perhaps, it the lawyers getting rich. I said employees filing lawsuits to get rich was an extreme view, just like I think employees are affraid of getting fired line is. I think Walmart is a target because of the Unions. If you have not notice Walmart has been at war against unionization for about 30 years. Isn't there a possibility that Unions are in part responsible for some of the activity against Walmart.
