Wal-Mart tries to improve public image through its employees

Posted by Grace Kanoy on August 18, 2006

I recently visited the Workplace Prof Blog and found the blog entry, The Empire Strikes Back: Wal-Mart Reaches Out to Its Workers, which comments on the article Wal-Mart Defends Itself, This Time to Its Workers. The revelation of Wal-Mart's treatment of its employees has brought it under fire from politicians, activists, media and former employees. And what is Wal-Mart's response?
Blame the politicians. "We think elected officials should spend their time on real solutions to real challenges." says Dan Fogleman, a Wal-Mart spokesperson. Since when is unfair labor policies and wages not a real issue?

What Does the Client Want?

It can be easy when you handle a considerable amount of cases, to feel like you know what is best for the client. Ultimately, however, it is their case and their life. Consequently, you should always get their input.

In the course of our practice it is not uncommon for a client, who is currently represented by another firm, to contact our office about their case. Unfortunately, the common complaint I hear is, "I have only met my attorney once, and all they said to me is what I should accept for settlement." That is sad.

In our law firm, we have seen first hand how Wal-Mart poorly treats their employees when they are injured. The bottom line is companies need to act responsibly. Lawmakers have presented a bill that addresses the issue of companies taking advantage of government assistance instead of providing adequate benefits for their employees. WILG (Worker's Injury Law and Advocacy Group) newsletter recently issued the following article. Sorry there was no electronic version.
