Objection: Wal-Mart not in line with other retailers' employee benefits          Send a link to a friend

To the editor:

Wal-Mart is not in line with other retailers... but only in your dreams.

Why do you get meats all prepackaged? It's because the meat cutters went union, and your Wal-Mart fired all the cutters. Wal-Mart doesn't feel they have to pay the wages that union workers should get.

I am a union worker myself -- my job: baker-fryer for Safeway -- so you can't tell me that Wal-Mart wages are up with the other retailers. You are flat-out wrong, and [regarding] health care, [with] IGA and Krogers, when you get sick you will get better care than with Wal-Mart's health care package.

Jann Allen Nash
UFCW 99 and proud of it
