I was reading a similar article on the Times that pointed out how Target raised wages in October so of course Walmart has to compete now. On top of that if nobody was saying that corporations wouldn’t give the money to the workers and Walmart specifically wasn’t being shit on so much by the public then this wouldn’t have happened. If I was getting $10 extra a year and giving $2 of that away meant people would like me and get off my back I can’t see why I wouldn’t do that. Maybe I’ll even get another $5 back come next time without giving any away because nobody is paying attention anymore.

I can’t wait until Canadians start posting on Facebook that America’s getting it right when in reality we get a years maternity leave and still have a lower corporate tax rate. This is the kind of shit that corporations can do because people have no interest in actually thinking for themselves they just want to form an opinion and shut their brain off again.

You know what I want to know, what benefits they cut in recent years and aren’t bringing back. When I worked at Loblaws they made cuts to coverage and I would bet they would introduce some benefit to cover some adoption fees without bring those back effectively still being shittier than they used to be but looking good. I’m very skeptical of these corporations.

Edit: I kneeew it, and sure it only affected that many workers at the start, but I bet we are both thinking they are cutting hours to keep most part timers under 30 hours now.
