Janikka Perry never made it home from her shift at the bakery of a supercenter in Arkansas. She was one of many Walmart workers who have been pressured to work through illness or pain, sometimes with devastating consequences.

    Foodservice, Food Processing, and Retail NEED mandatory paid sick leave. The fact that they don’t, with the inevitable public health consequence, is gross to say the least. Aside from that note, any corp with as much power as Walmart needs to be broken up and/or unionized, pronto.

    Our whole economy here in Arkansas is tied to this organization, so you can’t really get a fair trial

    I think I may start quoting this when people ask why I don’t like Walmart. I think the article helped convey how much sway the company has over the state. It’s scary. Glad I no longer live there.
