Walmart
Most Walmart employees are paid around 10 dollars per hour (10), and many fall below the poverty line making them eligible for a welfare program. Since our tax dollars are contributing to welfare programs, we are indirectly paying for Walmart! Walmart has also been taking out secret life insurance policies on its employees and cashing them out when the employees die (11). Thats not all! Walmart does not seem to want their employees forming unions, seven months after workers at a Walmart in Jonquière, Québec formed a labour union, Walmart shut down the superstore due to "Financial reasons" leaving hundreds of the underpaid employees without jobs (12). Walmart is always focused on getting profits and do not truly care about their customers or their employees.
