Former employees criticize Walmart

by Emma Stodder | 09/25/2012

Former Walmart employees strongly criticized working conditions at the retail giant, comparing "working at Walmart to being unemployed" during a forum hosted last Thursday by the Brandeis Labor Coalition. Coalition members organized the forum to raise awareness of working conditions at Walmart as well as how advocacy groups for workers' rights are trying to change them. Two former Walmart employees, now members of the Organization United for Respect at Walmart discussed their experiences working at Walmart and their work to improve working conditions since leaving the company.
