Rogue Residents Against Walmart urges Walmart to Respect Workers

Rogue Residents Against Walmart (Worker Retaliation), 24.11.2012 - 22:25
RRAW, Rogue Residents Against Walmart is in the process of possibly changing our name to RRAWWR - Rogue Residents Against Walmart Worker Retaliation.

RRAWWR asserts that most of the workers get so few hours that they qualify for food stamps, get no health or pension benefits until they have been with the corporation so many years, and that the Walton family has accumulated as much wealth as nearly half the US population by depriving their workers of a living.

Undignified Corporate Takeover ➡ Ashland Community Hospital

S T O P * D I G N I T Y * H E A L T H, 19.10.2012 - 20:55
Here is the latest on the "Corporate Takeover" in (so-called) progressive Ashland, Oregon!
