2010: What "OPEN DOOR POLICY." Has "American Citizens" Made Wal-Mart, a god beside God?" And they answers to no one?

walmart-s...After three years!  Even God CANNOT FIND Wal-Mart's Open Door at Store #2615 in Valdosta, Georgia.  Not even with a GPS workers still cannot find this "Open Door."

December 18, 2010

TO: Wal-Mart President/CEO,
Internet, Present and former
Wal-Mart Stores, and beyond

Much help is needed in finding WAL-MART STORES Inc. "OPEN DOOR POLICY." They promised EACH of their employees that one EXISTED.  In addition, I was WRONGFULLY TERMINATED under the heading of ““INABILITY TO PERFORM JOB” on March 20, 2008.  This was at Wal-Mart Store #2615 wherein Store Manager Hal served without really addressing workers questions and problems. He undoubtedly believed; that I too was just another pawn, peon, or puppet to be mistreated without even answering my EXTREMELY VALID questions.  This belief apparently has extended to several Wal-Mart Presidents, CEO’s and Board of Directors.  But eventually Wal-Mart will be unable to move forward without answering workers questions.

Moreover I refused to be one of their FOOL or TOOL that they used to continue their mistreatment of workers. I did not serve my country for over twenty-years, own a successful business for over fourteen-years to be made to look like a complete fool; by America's Largest (Unfair) Retail Giant and be IGNORED!

My mother did not give birth to any “FOOLS.” If she did they had to be ONE of my other five siblings because I am NOT the one! Wal-Mart often told us lies.  But I say to WAL-MART President and Board of Directors; that they are not who they claim to be, but who they prove themselves to be over a given period of time. Needless to say; I find them EXTREMELY LESS credible than they profess to be.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. knows that they NEVER entered me into their required Four Week Training Program.  All assistant, co-managers including Store Manager Hal knows this and there is no defense that anyone can provide differently.  If there were all they would have to do is produce a single document disapproving my accusations?  But they cannot because they have apparently made it a practice of treating American workers as those in China or in some other third world nation.  How sad?

After over twenty-three letters to WAL-MART STORE EXECUTIVES they still refuse to answer my questions.  Wal-Mart seems to be playing a game and wants mistreated workers to bury their heads in the sand like legend concerning the Ostrich Bird.  As if they are not concerned about themselves.

My children have been informed of the mistreatment and this has become a yearly point of discussion at my yearly family reunion.  I take this mistreatment extremely serious because I placed my life on the line in foreign countries and will NEVER allow Wal-Mart to treat me as a third world country.

Wal-Mart has apparently ignored valid questions from so many wrongfully terminated workers that they have convinced themselves that they can get away with it with every body.  But my mistreatment will NOT just fade into the wind.  They must answer and I must receive a valid reply that makes sense to both me and the American People.

I say wake-up Americans to a new reality that Wal-Mart is forcing upon us.  We cannot make it as a nation without us redirecting our buying power where employers fail to respect American Workers.  We must expect God to do for us that which we are unwilling to unite and do for ourselves.  We must decide where we are going to spend our dollars or we will have given up all Workers Rights in our beloved nation. Peace!

Wal-Mart, NAACP, AARP, etc., & (The Money Issue) Is this why Wal-Mart Workers continues to be WRONGFULLY TERMINATION?
May 5, 2010

TO: All American Citizens

I was wrongfully terminated from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., on March 20, 2008, at Store #2615 in Valdosta, Georgia. For over two years and three months Wal-Mart Stores Inc., President/CEO has refused to answer my VALID questions concerning my wrongful termination. I can only imagine how many other Wal-Mart Workers have given up hope by Wal-Mart failure to address VALID rebuttals from Wrongfully Terminated Workers. See Blog:

It seems that our Civil and Human Rights Organizations have sold their soul to Wal-Mart and left American Workers without any recourse. Yes! America’s Largest Retail Giant seems to have crushed the best fighters in America by giving donations that has guaranteed Wal-Mart shield remain in place for the protection of Wal-Mart Stores Inc and this includes the NAACP.

There was a time when many organizations and institutions would have been on the firing line for Workers Rights---but no more! Have organizations found a resting place in the amount of money they receives from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., at the expense of mistreated, wrongfully terminated, and discriminated against workers? The American Customers must stop burying their head in the sand like the legend concerning the Ostrich Bird. I will no longer contribute to making Wal-Mart a god beside God and answers to no one when it comes to Workers Rights.

Today it has become necessary for all Americans to stand up and redirect our buying power to a company that will at least answer VALID questions from American Workers. We can and must do better or our children and coming generations of children will have no hope of a fair and just working environment in our beloved country. We are forced to act NOW!

Note: I no longer shop at any of Wal-Mart Stores and will expand my efforts until all Wal-Mart Workers are treated with respect, dignity, and worth. (Not as workers in China or in some other third world nation).

Dear Mr. George Boston Rhynes,

I have read your articles and stand to salute your cause and your new stand against Wal-Mart. Surprisingly, Goodwill Industries does the same thing using the ill New Mexico, "At will employment". It is an organization that treats its employees the same way as Wal-Mart. Suddenly you can find yourself out of work, from one day to the next, with no reason. They emphasize that you can walk away from them as well, if you so desire. They spend so much time having you sign policy after policy...and going to supervisor meetings to learn how to fire and terminate people so that the company is protected. I only had eight months with Goodwill and I just left suddenly for a new job. I am disgusted at how they use the "clients" and pay them a minimal amount per hour. Their treatment towards store management is abhorrent.

I, like you, wish to stand against these Corporate whores. We are giving America away and ruining the earth in the process.

To think that I was against Unions for so many years. After experiencing and learning the hard way what this "At will employment" means, fight to have Unions!!!!!

Good luck and God bless you and your brothers in arms.

Support the troops, bring them home.

Defiant Bangladesh garment workers protest anew
Julhas Alam, Associated Press, Dhaka, Bangladesh | Mon, 08/02/2010 4:19 PM | World

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/08/02/defiant-bangladesh-garment-workers-protest-anew.html

Thousands of workers from the garment industry demonstrated Monday near the Bangladeshi capital over a new minimum wage they call too low, defying government warnings against moves that might jeopardize the country's top export earner.

At least 25 protesters were injured when security officials charged with batons to remove them from a major highway at Ashulia and Savar, a major industrial hub just outside Dhaka that supplies international chains including Wal-Mart, Gap and Marks & Spencer.

About a dozen factories closed Monday to avoid being damaged, as the rampaging workers attacked some of the them, police official Mahbubur Rahman said. He added that the protesters fled when additional security arrived.

Separately, several hundreds of workers blocked a road in Narayanganj, another industrial zone near Dhaka, the Daily Star newspaper reported Monday. There was no major violence reported.

Monday's demonstrations were part of an angry response to the government's new minimum wages for the nation's 2 million garment workers - most of them women - after months of often-violent protests over poor pay and working conditions. The new structure raises the minimum pay by about 80 percent, but workers and labor leaders say that isn't enough and does not match the high cost of living.

The new protest Monday came despite agreement by union leaders late Sunday to the new minimum pay structure, following a meeting with the government and factory owners.

Bangladesh has about 4,000 factories that export in bulk to international companies including Wal-Mart, Tesco, H&M, Zara, Carrefour, Gap, Metro, JCPenney, Marks & Spencer, Kohl's, Levi Strauss and Tommy Hilfiger.

Garment workers in Bangladesh are among the lowest-paid in the world and have difficulty buying enough food and arranging shelter on their monthly earnings, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, a Vienna-based labor rights group.

In the first increase since 2006, the official minimum wage has been set at 3,000 takas ($45) a month, up from 1,662 takas ($25). Workers and labor rights groups have pressed for a monthly minimum wage of 5,000 takas ($73). The new pay structure starts in November and has seven grades - the highest pay fixed at 9,300 takas ($140).

Factory owners say the skilled workers usually earn much more than the minimum wage, and they label the recent protests as a conspiracy by some vested quarters and outsiders to destroy the industry, which competes with major exporters like India and China in low-end products.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Saturday her administration would show zero tolerance for any further protests that might jeopardize the vital industry.

Garment exports earn Bangladesh more than $12 billion a year, nearly 80 percent of the country's export income.

In June, about 700 garment factories in a major industrial hub near Dhaka were shut for two days after days of violent protests by tens of thousands of workers.

The manufacturers say they're being squeezed by a slump in prices on the international market because of global economic crisis. They also say higher production costs due to an energy crisis and poor infrastructure are pushing them to the edge.

Info on the subject of location.
For decades Valdosta, Georgia has been hidden beneath the rubbish pile of time, distance and space here in America. As a result citizens have been suffering for decade as if they are in a third world country for some. But others are living in paradise at the expense of others and this includes an unjust judicial system.

http://barberpk.blogspot.com/

We have had thirty jail deaths since 1994 while news media and politicians seem unconcerned about this trend for whatever reasons. So what are jailed inmates, parents, children and concerned citizens to when their government consistently fail them? Even Atlanta keyed in on the extremely high number of jail deaths but nothing is being done to stop this trend for whatever reason. http://williejameswilliams.blogspot.com/

Our school system has been under court order by The United States Justice Department since 1971. However little to nothing has changed and citizens has lost hope in Valdosta ever moving into the 21st Century. Lord helps those parents with children in the Valdosta-Lowndes County School System.

We have had practically every civil and human rights organization in the nation here but things remain the same. In addition Georgia is one of the few remaining states in America that is identified as an “At Will to Work State.” This means that workers can be terminated for good cause, bad cause, or for no cause at all and employers know this and govern themselves accordingly against workers rights—thanks to Georgia Politicians.

Wall-Mart Stores Inc. is guilty of not answering their workers VALID questions and too often gotten away with it for decades. There is no help for wrongfully terminated workers and Wal-Mart refuses to even respond or answer valid questions from terminated workers. How do you know George? I am one of many that have been totally wronged by Wal-Mart and they refuse to answer valid questions. http://666onwalmart.blogspot.com/

So why are Americans putting their lives on the line in foreign countries only to be treated as third class citizens in the work place? They are now treating us as if we are WORKERS in China or in some other third world country. It has just been reported that the suicide rate among our military personnel are at an all time high. So is that American Service Members are fed up with a government that is unable to answer their needs? But then again; who cares anymore in this country?
