Wal-Mart in line with other retailers?          Send a link to a friend

Dear Editor:

To comment on the letter written stating that Wal-Mart is in line with other retailers, I would just like to say that I did work for Wal-Mart in the tire and lube center. Unless their full-time hours have changed, 28 hours was considered full-time, and with my wage at the time being $5.50 an hour, how could anyone feel this way?

We all have our opinions, and that is what makes this country of ours great; on the other hand it can bring about criticism.

As far as the insurance goes, I agree with Mrs. Branson, but I also know that if Wal-Mart, with their enormous employee count, were to ask for better benefits from their provider, a deal could be struck to provide their employees with way better coverage than they have now, without costing the employees an arm and a leg.

If I am wrong, I stand corrected.
