I recently…meaning today. Checked out the Walmart Litigation site and can Confirm KaptiveKaos’s statement that the site is out of date and the Attorney search page is down.
over all id say the site isnt worth looking at anymore.
not very much help at all.

Ive been searching for some resources to further my growing need to take action against the company for various issues accumulated over the course of a 3 year employment period with them. the latest of wich is an 8 month run around on getitng a jobcode and the pay increse to go with it updated since i took on a new job position the in my store. irronically I never wanted it to begin with it and was basically forced into it and now they wont even get around to filing the changes and paying me for it.

Anyone have any decent resources to recomend?

I actually contacted Mr. Laska the attorney who put together the project, the site is outdated and the list of attorneys had to be removed so it really is just a hot air site now!

I knew things were bad in the stores in my area, but I didn’t realize how bad they are everywhere. I was a Wal-Mart employee for almost 4 years, until this past Friday. I got fired for not using a ladder. Yeah, it is against policy, I know. Thing is, I have been not using the ladder for 2 years. I used to have conversations with managers while standing on the edge of a display case. Why did I do it? For starters, management pressures you to get it done, no matter what. So, I rush. Second, where the heck did the ladders go? You can spend 15-20 min. easily looking for one that you need for 5 sec. Lastly, I fall off the darn things! I’m short, and don’t have that great of an arm reach. To get to the stuff on the top shelf from the ladder, I have to step on the ledge anyway. Try to picture this: the ladder faces one way, the stuff I need to reach faces another. I have to either twist my body, and lose my balance, to reach what I need to get to, or I have to put one foot on the ledge to balace myself. Hope that makes sense to somebody other than me. Anyway, a week before I got fired, I an “open door” with the Co-manager about something that the manager over my area said. Retaliation? I think so. I’m trying to fight this thing, but with Wal-Mart, it seems like they do what they want. I don’t want to work there, but I have to support my kids. With all of the people who have complaints, why can’t we get anywhere? Anybody got any major plans on how to even the field with Wal-Mart? If you do, I am soooo in. I have lots of people that are willing to join.

I currently work for walmart. During my 90 day evaluation (which I scored perfect across the board) I was asked if I had any further questions. I asked them if I could have a stool to sit on and produced a note from the doctor stating that I have multiple schlerosis and cervical cancer. I was told to take the note to the personel office. The next day I was called at home and tolod I had to get another doctors note but on their paper. The ada package that they gave m said that I did not have to use “their form” but instead could use a doctors documentation. (which I had already turned in) I was then told I would have to take a LOA until I produced another note on their paper. This cost me 90.00. I told them of the hardship that i could not loose 90.00 lik that and the days off with no pay. They told me that I would have to work without the stool until produced the note or take the leave of absent until I do. This could cost me to loose the roof I have over my son and I’s head if they do not let me work….or if they let me work it would have to be without a stool causing me to injure myself….what can I do about this? I cannot afford to miss even one day of work………I spent the 90.00 to get the other doctors note on their paper.

During Memorial weekend this year, I went to Wal-mart to try on some bathing suits. The clerk at the dressing room escorted me to a dressing room (#7). Upon entering the room, I smelled an odor of urine, I stepped out of my sandals and placed my bare feet on the carpet. My feet got soaking wet and I threw down the bathing suits I was going to try on and stepped on top of them to form a barrier while I got re-dressed. After getting my sandals back on my wet feet and now wet hands, I exited the dressing room and told the clerk that the room smelled like urine and that the carpet was wet. TO MY SURPRISE, the clerk state, “yea, I know, somebody pee’d in there”… She told me that somebody urinated in the room prior to my arrival.

Apparently, the store manager had a janitor “shampoo the carpet because of someone peeing in the room” prior to my usage and did not even have people stopped from using the room afterwards. To make things worse, the clerk put the urine soaked bathing suits back on the racks to be sold (I took pictures of this afterwards).

I had to get a Hepatitus B shot in case of any infection, which caused a allergic reactions on my arm and chest. Some of these allergic reaction site have become permanent. The local ABC news station did a 2 day story on what happened. The carpet was not properly sanitized, the foam padding wasn not replaced, nor was the sublfoor disinfected. The store is located in Redding, California #2537. Im looking for an attorney who is not afraid to take on walmart.

On 6/14/08 I was working at a walmart in ct. I had only been with the company for about 5 months. I was put in chemicals to stock there shelves. I down stocked the fist pallet fine but when I cut the shrink wrap on the second pallet I smelt something really strong. I was guessing it was bleach but was unsure. I told a member of management and was told to go back to work and don’t worrie about it. About 20 min later it was getting stronger as I got farther along on the pallet and told a different member of management what was going on. that manager also told me not to worry about it. After about 2 hours and 3 members of management telling me not to worry about it. I was unable to breath and blue in the lips I went to my husband who had also worked with me at walmart and said something is wrong and I need to go to the ER. He took a look at the pallet and seen bleach and ammonia mixing together. For all of you the didn’t know this it will kill a person if inhaled for to long. by the time I got the the ER my oxygen level was at 60% and I was not in good shape. I have since been diagnosed with asthma due to it and was fired last week for unsafe work practices. Please help me find a good lawer in CT that can help me. thanks AKA KaKa

Wow,I thought I was alone!! I was charged with theft,and I was a CSM. I never stole any money. I found money under a register and turned it in,which you can clearly see on video. I came to work,and they asked me to help set-up for a visit by exectuives .This was a lie, I went to ad office,and no one was there. I came back to the front,and no one was there. I left and went home. I get a visit by a co-worker who tells me,the rumor is I stole money and it was all over the store. I was arressted at home 2 weeks later for theft,and I did nothing!!! After many resets,mind you this took place in 12/08. We had to wait many weeks for Walmart to send this video,and we got it. I knew,I had not committed any crime,so I stood my ground. The video helped me,it showed me doing my job duties,as I am suppose to. I never in the video,took any money out of a register. I want a lawyer,who is not scared to take on Walmart,they treat employees very unfairyl,if you are not in management. I was,and was treated wrong,they allow minors to work beyond the hrs they are allowed. Please help!!! All charges were dismissed,however I can not allow them to get away with this.

took my diesel f-250 to walmart for an oil change. truck never had issues or leaks. after about 2 hrs, tech guy came and said they have a problem. oil was leaking from my lower oil cooler unit , this is where the oil filter sits . after about 2 more hrs of them changing filters again and chatting on phone to local techs the kid( mabey 18) told me face to face that (1 he couldnt get the oil filter off. (2 pounded a screw driver into my oil filter (3 pounded a universal oil filter tool onto the bottom of my oil filter. this caused the lower oil cooler to break and leak. first they said its not there fault. but i demanded them to file a claim. after about 5 hrs that day someone called me and said to have a local shop fix the truck and they would pay for it. now being 1200 miles from home, i had no place to sleep since truck was at another shop . i had to get a hotel room.125.00 a night. was the only one i could find to walk to from walmart. so i called walmart 1st thing in the am and said i wanted to also be reimbursed for my stay, they said not a problem just keep the receipts. so now a bitchy lady from claims calls and starts telling me that looking at her computer of the setup of the lower oil cooler on the truck. theres no way they could have damaged it. so now as a independent hauler, i have to fork out 500.00 to local shop,500.00 for 4 days in a hotel and i lost 2 loads heading home worth about 2600.00. i cant afford this. i dont normaly take a trip this long, but i needed the money to feed my family. now i need help with a lawyer. if anyone knows a good lawyer who can battle this case, let me know please.

Sorry to hear about this Francis, my mother worked at wal mart 17 and one half yrs, and has recently been fired, over forgetting to clock out before her fifth hour, my mother is 67 yrs old, she is now having panic attacks and bouts of depression due to her being fired, she has every Pin they give out for outstanding work, running 2 depts. with no help, being manager of 2 depts, she needed help to do both jobs, she gave them 17 plus yrs of her life, got excellent reviews every time, and offered to rehire her in a month if she wants her job back but to start at the bottom. They replaced her with someone much younger, this sounds like discrimination to me, this sounds like it is happening alot to people who are getting paid what their worth, and then they hand their job over to an unexperienced person who will take the low pay they are generous enough to give them, we need a lawyer to take this case, as there is much more to the unfairness that they did to her, she loved her job, was proud of her job, and it was like she lost a child when they so carelessly threw her aside with the other seniors and higher paid people they are getting rid of like expendable waste! Everyone we know cannot believe this, and they have vowed to never shop this awful place again, she is still in shock and now has the meager income of SSI to live on, she didn’t even get a warning to get her affairs in order knowing they were taking away her rent, bills, food etc. money. Now she is forced to move as she can’t pay for simple things we must live with because of her drastic drop in income, I tell you, Sam Walton would roll over in his grave if he saw what has happened to his beloved store!!!
I am extremely worried about my mother, please help, pro bono of course, because of the lack of income.
ty, sincerely Kathy
P.S. I worked at wal mart for 3 yrs, it felt like working in a sweat shop, underpaid and 2 depts to run by myself, I now am on SSI disability, because of the stress they put me through I have panic attacks, I should have sued their worthless asses then, they took my life in essence and now have done it to my mother in a most cruel way.

I’m hoping for a solution to a problem I have with Wal-Mart. I feel I have been mistreated by management at my former store and would like to know if there’s anything that I can do. I had been with Wal-Mart for almost 4 years and in the past year, Ive seen poor choices made my management and in the end I was terminated for a transaction that occurred a month ago.
A month ago a woman comes in to reserve a keg, and so I took care of her and the transaction. She paid with check and cash. The woman leaves and then comes back within like 30 minutes and wants her money back because she can get her keg cheaper at a Kroger up the street. And so I decided, well, we can just do a 1 action code which will just void out the whole transaction like it never took place. So I called over my customer service manager and she turned her key and overrode for the 1 action. After that I gave the woman all her money back, cash and amount of the check. Well, come to find out I was not supposed to give her money from the check she had written out cuz it was voided in the 1 action. So, my drawer came up $135 short, but come to find out the woman that made that transaction was an employee of Walmart and so they were able to get in touch with her and she came in and voluntarily paid back the amount of the money that she had wrote the check out for.
Now, before that transaction took place, I already had 3 strikes (write ups) against me for other incidents. So because of what I had done, I knew I’d probably be fired and so I kept asking my Asst. Mgr. what was gonna happen, and she kept telling me she wasnt sure. That was a month ago. I was terminated on 7/9/09. Week before that I was given my yearly evaluation and on that It told me I had met or exceeded all requirements, and was told by the customer svc. manager that gave it to me that I would be getting a .40 cent raise in Aug. So because of that evaluation, I felt my job was safe. Then a week later I get called in and told I was being terminated. To me that doesn’t make any sense, and I felt that it was unjust and I was mistreated and misled to believe my job was safe. I had been mistreated before by the management there, but this incident really got me because it left me without a job .
Now my question to you, is there any legal action that I can take? I was once a Customer Svc. Manager but was demoted because I had given a fellow Customer Svc. Mgr. my password because she was locked up on a register trying to do a cash pull. Well, associate in accounting overheard it and took it upon herself to go up to a register in customer service and use my login # and password and sign on and do a cash pull. I dont recall anywhere in Walmarts policies to not give out your pw or it could cost you.
So, if you can help me or steer me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Obviously RV did not fully read your blog. The boys were with an adult they just got separated by the rush. I am shocked that the associate let three boys stay outside without adult supervision. They should have listened to your boys and page the worried Uncle. They obviously didn’t have a heart and were shy a few brains in that store. They should have been told when they walked in the door (politely) that the store was closing in five minutes and that the boys should wait until after Christmas and take advantage of the sales and get more for their money.

There were only three boys with my brother and they have gone with him numerous times in the past. I take all four of them by myself on a daily basis, children get seperated, it happens, that is not my concern, my concern is why they were thrown out of a store, any store, by themselves. As far as them not wearing jackets, well when they left our house it was warm outside and there was no need for them to have jackets on. It only started to get cold after dark.

RV — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 04:39:13 +0000

Brandi,

It is very scary and very sad to hear what has happened with your kids. But what is your role in this? I can not understand how come you sent 4 kids (one with special need) with one person? What were you doing?
They are boys with lots of energy. Come on they did not even have jackets on?
I am sorry to say that you should get angry with yourself first before being pissed at other. Sorry. I completely understand what you have gone through.

I live in Lubbock Texas, and on Christmas Eve my children were kicked out of Wal-Mart alone, scared and cold. Here is how this happened…….
I have four children, all boys; three of them received Wal-Mart gift cards from their Uncle for Christmas. The boys are 12, 9, and 8, and my 9-year-old has special needs. Well, like most children their age the gift cards were burning a hole in their pockets, so their uncle agreed to take them shopping, without the realization that Wal-Mart would be closing at 6 o’clock for the holidays. They walked through the door at 5:55 and were rudely told “Get what you need and get out; the doors are closing in 5 minutes.” So naturally my boys took off running and got separated from their uncle. Luckily the three of them stayed together. At 6 o’clock the boys were directed by a store employee to get out of the store, even though they were alone. The boys were not sure how to respond so they went outside as they were directed. There were two employees outside guarding the doors to make sure no one else got in and the boys were standing at the doors watching and looking for their uncle, because they had nothing else to do. At this point the sun has gone down so it is dark and cold outside and my boys are running from one door to the other, probably in the parking lot, which are about 100 yards apart searching for their uncle. The 9-year-old who has special needs is crying and scared while the other two are searching. At one point they catch site of their uncle and tell the man at the door as much, and ask if they can go in and get him, now keep in mind that it gets pretty cold after dark and all 3 boys are in shorts and no jacket, because we were unaware that they would be forced to stand outside for 15-20 minutes so that the Wal-mart employees could get home. They are told by the guards that they can not go back in and will just have to wait until he comes out. In the mean time the boy’s uncle is frantically searching the store for these 3 boys and is panicking. At one point he even has the boys paged, unaware that they have been tossed out in the cold. No one ever goes in to page for the Uncle or even bothers going in after they are told that the boys saw their Uncle. This experience was very frightening for everyone involved especially the boys. When I heard about it I went through a serious of emotions, at first I was just flat out pissed I thought about calling the police and the news station, but thought I should speak to an attorney first, I desperately tried to contact Wal-Mart but they were closed, I even tried to call their big offices, and nothing. I was horrified and shocked that a store that supposedly supports the Code Adam by locking all doors when a child gets lost would actually throw 3 children out by themselves. As a parent the things that ran through my mind are what if they had been struck by a car or abducted all because some stupid minimum wage worker is ready to get home. My kids do not look like thugs and are not trouble makers, so I do not understand why they were not simply brought to the front of the store and had their Uncle paged, why were they tossed outside? I am not sure what to do, but feel like something needs to be done to ensure that this does not happen again.

I’ve been working at walmart for nearly three years. i’ve been working in the tire and lube express until i became pregnant. then i was forced to work on the sales floor and take a pay cut. but i was promised to to have my job back when i had the baby. i only took four weeks off and was back to work, but they hired two people in the garage when i was on leave and told me i had to wait until someone got fired or quit. one of my friends in the garage told the asst. manger he would transfer on the sales floor so that i could get my job back. and the asst. manger told him he couldn;t transfer. so three months later a employ in the garage quits. i ask the manger when i can have my job back, then he tells me “you have a job” when i remind him of the promis to get my job back in the garage when i got off leave, then the second one about when somone quits he tells me, “it’s not in walmarts budject to replace the position”

tell me if i’m wrong, but isn’t that wrong? not to mention i’m a single mother and that is my only income, and i can’t even get my pre-pregnant pay back.

I was a fourteen year associate. I always had excellent evaluations. My attendance was flawless. I was well liked and had many friends. My customer service was impeckable. So what happened to me? Well I got old. I am 49 years old. I have had some health problems. But I did not let it affect my work performance while I was on the clock. But the managers needed to cut hours. I was slowly wrote up for one silly thing after the other. One write up was something I did by accident. But then my assistant did the exact same thing on purpose and they did nothing to her. My next write up was because they said I wasn’t keeping the rotating book. When I was first gave the book to keep I put it in a safe place. But it came up missing. I did forget about it, so that one was my fault. The third was for yelling at a fellow associate. I denied it but her bestfriend backed her up. I do not yell at people. I have had open heart surgery and it is painful to raise my voice. But the manager that wrote me up said it had to be true. Then I got wrote up the last time because they said I was not keeping the rotation log correctly. I was rotating stock and keeping it wrote down. They said they could not see any proof to this. I challenged them to come with me and I would show them. But they refused. So out the door I went. Fire! I lost my medical benefits and I have had to use my profit sharing money to live on. My unemployment is barely half what my take home pay was. They also tried to fight my unemployment. It has been almost six months since I left there. I have reapplied with them. And even though they told the unemployment office they would rehire me I have yet to hear from them. Since I have left other long time associates have been demoted. After twenty or more years I find it hard to believe that these associates suddenly went bad.

Looking for an attorney to help me sue Wal-Mart #2996 in Dallas, TX. My girlfriend helped me get a job there 4 months ago. I was unfairly fired recently. Story: The store manager sexually harassed my girlfriend. Shes stupid and gave in. I didnt know. I later went to work there. When I started, the manager harassed me and threatened me with violence. I even had to fight a stranger one day after work because of him. I complained to higher management for three months. They wouldnt take action, so I called the Walmart global ethics line and filed a report. after the investigation was done they fired my (ex)girlfriend, him, and me too! Stating workplace violence, when i was the victim! I was fired as retaliation for filing that report! I really need an attorney, so please help if u can. Seriously…

MY MOM WAS FIRED FROM WALMART. THEY SAID SHE WAS YELLING AND THEY SAID SHE THREW PAINT AND WAS BEING INSABORDINATE SHE NEVER THREW PAINT AND ALTHOUGH SHE DID RAISE HER VOICE IT WAS IN THE OFFICE ALTHOUGH WALMART CLAIMS THAT SHE WAS SCREEMING IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

MY MOTHER HAS A DEPRESSION PROBLEM AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM MAKING HER MORE EMOTIONAL THAN NORMAL.

SHE APPLYIED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BUT WAS DENIED FOR BEING INSABORDINATE.

IS THERE A LAWYER OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP US TO SUE WALMART FOR WRONGFUL TERMINATION?

I just checked the site feed in my newsreader and on BlogLines and it looks fine. I also haven’t heard of any problems from anyone else. I’m really not sure what the problem is, but the sidebars aren’t even a part of the feed, so they shouldn’t be showing up in an RSS reader at all. One possibility is that you somehow subscribed to the site url, rather than the feed url. To get the feed, just append /feed/ to the end of the url.

OFFTOPIC

Have you had a chance to look at your site in an RSS reader lately? The actual content has the width of 1 word (all other screen realestate being taken up by the two side bars). Making it vary hard to read your enjoable posts. Thanks
