“They are taking advantage of America’s raging unemployment crisis to stiff their workforce, since these low-wage, non-union employees desperately need the jobs and have no power to stand up to the corporation’s greed.”
Big Corporation, Tiny Heart
How small can a giant corporation get? I don't mean in size, but in spirit.
Once again, America's biggest commercial empire — Walmart — is displaying its incredibly shriveled ethical center by whacking the already meager health care benefits that hundreds of thousands of its workers count on.
Just a couple of years ago, this $408 billion-a-year retailing colossus tried to hush critics of its Dickensian labor policies by ballyhooing a bare-bones health care plan for its "associates." The insurance scheme had such high deductibles, however, that barely half of its employees bought into it.
Now, even that benefit is being yanked from the 40 percent of Walmart's employees who are part-time workers. Also, insurance premiums and deductibles are being dramatically jacked up for thousands of full-time workers. For example, one full-timer who's paid only $12,000 a year will see her premium more than double to about $3,300 a year — a fourth of her income! "I won't be able to afford the insurance," she says, "and I really can't go without insurance, because I have a heart problem."
Top executives and the board of directors of this enormously profitable corporation also have a heart problem. They are taking advantage of America's raging unemployment crisis to stiff their workforce, since these low-wage, non-union employees desperately need the jobs and have no power to stand up to the corporation's greed. A Walmart PR flak says that decisions to whack the workers "were not easy, but they strike a balance between managing costs and providing quality care and coverage."
"Care and coverage" for whom? Why, for the top executives, of course. They get full health care coverage from the corporation. How's that for boosting morale...and for morality? For more information, go to ForRespect.org/healthcare.

I can't get through at the moment http://ayleqeoofa.de.tl dark portal lo bbs last summer, I was walking with a girl on our first date down along a private area of Padre Island and we saw this couple fucking on the beach. I was not sure how my date would react, but she not only wanted to watch, she got really turned on, and we wound up fucking as well. The other couple had no clue we were there, but I was very happy we saw them, because it was exactly the type of lead-in that made my date really hot.
I've just graduated http://ajeqyeasoi.de.tl brass hose bibbs this is the best fucking I have seen seen in a long time .Love how he fuckes deep an hard just how i love it .He could fuck me anytime.
A company car http://sojihaimefis.de.tl nymphet kids They poked, prodded and played with that woman's beautiful pussy but wouldn't go down on her, what's up with that? I see that more and more in porn these days, if I want to see good oral, I'd have to look at girl on girl action, if a woman sucks your cock, you should be considerate enough to return the favor and eat her pussy, even if you are doing porn.
