In late august 2007, 31 wks pregnant, I was walking in the walmart towards the baby section and fell in a puddle of water against my cart.

I filled out an incident report, sat for a bit, I felt weird, and went home...2 weeks later, I went into labor, and delivered my 3lbs 3oz little baby girl.

My doctor told me that my placenta was almost completely ripped off my body. 2 weeks before I fell I had an ultrasound that shows my placenta was fine at that time, I have that report. My daughter was in the hospital for 1 and half months.

She is a miracle to have survived with the placenta almost not attached, but she wasn't getting nourishment, therefore my body went into premature labor at 33 weeks. This happened in my home state of California.

Back in September, Walmart dc 7023 in Arcadia florida where I worked since it began, in 2005, fired me for falsifying documents,gross misconduct..I of course argued but as many of your know an argument with walmart HAS to be in court.

My job was changing batteries in the battery room and I allegedly entered in a number of a battery that was sposed to be watered but wasn't. A Practice that we were told to do if there was a line of peoppe needing batteries changed and production was slowing due to having to wait in line with their equipment( forklifts etc) to have their batery changed, this procatice is STILL going on and has been since the dc opened in 2005.

I collected unemployment and a few months ago Walmart filed suit against my appealing my unemployment. In FLorida if you are fired for gross misconduct you cannot get unemployment. well I got it and at the appeal hearing( by phone) their witness said he didn't know why I was terminated,stating that there was nothing on his paper as to the reason. My case here is that since I wasn't fired for gross misconduct, then WHAT was I fired for? nothing on papers that I received and since the practice is STILL going on then why single out me? that answer is my age and medical conditions,( advanced prostate cancer).

I am looking for a lawyer that wants to handle this case, I have all the paper work and the notes and copy of the phone hearing. I feel very strongly that I was discriminate against because of my age and medical conditions. any help? thanks

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-Mart #17: Father Loses Battle With Cancer, Wal-Mart Wouldn't Provide Medical Insurance

My father worked for the walmart DC in Washington Courthouse, Ohio for almost a year when he was diagnosed with cancer.

He had to go on medical leave, the doctors told him that he would die if he didn't get a treatment with radical chemotherapy and stem cells.

He tried to get his insurance to pay for it through walmart but they said because the treatment was considered a transplant the insurance didn't cover it until you've worked for the company for a full year.

You can guess the end of the story, my father lost his battle with cancer in August of 2007 all because the multibillion dollar giant walmart couldn't spare a drop in the bucket to save one of their own worker's life.

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-mart #16, Fired Because of Surgery

2008-03-28T14:51:00.000-02:30

Lawyers in the NC area,
please contact: Allynsam(at) aol (dot) com

I have worked for Sam's club in NC for 13 years. I was one of the highest paid associates in the club and reminded of that often by management.

I had been out of work for a week, the first part of November. When I returned I informed my manager that I was going to need surgery , she asked when and reminded me that this was the worst possible time of year for me to be out.

I was informed by doctors that surgery need to be scheduled fast. DEC 12 was the date and would have an eight week recovery. Management was not happy.

I was terminated November 28,2007 for falsifying company documents!! (one week after giving my surgury date)

The company documents were time adjustments for missed lunches.

I was told the times I put on my adjustments didn't match the video tapes.

I know for a fact others guess at the time or put their lunch wrong to stay within company guide lines of taking a lunch after 6 hours!

One time adjustment was done to stay under 40 hours , at the request of my manager because she would get in trouble for having overtime.

I just think its unfair to pick and choose who's time adjustments they allow and who's they don't.

I was 13 year associate making more then some management. they wanted me gone

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-mart #15, Hit From Behind and Knocked to the Ground by Wal-mart Staff

Lawyers in the Lincoln, NE area,
please contact Dave davekohles (at) msn (dot) com

I was exiting Wal-Mart after checking out. I was approached by two individuals wearing regular close and no identification. The one individual starts to accuse me of shoplifting. I ask them who they are but they do not tell me they just keep shouting accusations at me and i continue to ask who they are and that I have done nothing and don't know what they are talking about.

At this point one of the individuals starts reaching into my shopping cart and going though my stuff. He claims to have found evidence of some sort. This entire time I am holding my 1 yr old daughter and my wife is standing beside me. The two individuals whom would not identify themselves start to grab my arm and tell me to go back in the store. I insisted I had done nothing wrong and decided to hand my daughter to my wife and told her to take the baby and go to the car.

When I turned from them I was hit from behind and knocked to the ground. The two individuals continued to hold me on the concrete with my coat pulled over my head. I remember hearing a woman shout "help him, someone help." The next thing I know I am free and I stand up a little dazed and wondering what just happened.

I look around and see my wife and baby at the car and two men struggling with the two men who assaulted me. I turned and went to my wife . My first priority seemed to be making sure I was cleared of any wrong doing, figuring I would more than likely soon be visited by an police officer. One month went by, and I was talking with my wife about that night and how I felt about what happened.

We decided that the way we were treated was very wrong and that if I was ever approached by or the accusations they made ever brought up that I would pursuer action against them. I guess I felt I probably would not here any more about it and than I was ticketed and arrested at my home.

The officer mentioned the incident and said that when the two loss prevention guys were detaining me that they were removed from my back by two men that thought they were assaulting me witch they were. I told the officer I was innocent and that I felt that I was assaulted. He ticketed me and I was never formally charged. I would now like to pursue action against them or whom ever.

I strongly believe that my rights were violated and that the situation was handled very poorly. I think about how even thought my daughter was very young if it will be something she will remember, I don't know. I do know that these men should have been wearing Identification of some sort and before detaining someone in such an excessive manor they should be darn certain they are guilty, and even then they should not be aloud to attack an individual who is not resisting. Please contact me if you can offer your services.

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-mart #14, Pharmacist Fired for Supposedly Stealing $4 Pills

Lawyers in the Illinois area,
please contact Cheryle

I worked at the Dixon Illinois Wal-Mart. I noticed that one of your other posts also had a complaint needing a lawyer from this town. I have never done an illegal thing in my life, not even a parking ticket.

Yesterday I was fired for stealing. I was handcuffed and led to the police car in front of co-workers who were all too happy to gossip about this today (I've been told).

Wal-Mart would not let me see the tape of what I supposedly had done. They said that I stole some prescription drugs. The drug that was mentioned is on the Wal-Mart $4 generic plan. I could well have afforded that drug if I had wanted it. I even have a prescription for that drug ( a different dose) so there was no need to steal anything. My prescription information was discussed in the security office without my permission. I thought that this was a HIPPA violation.

This drug has no street value and was not even the dose I am on. It's a narrow-therapeutic drug, therefore dosing is crucial and is monitored with twice-yearly blood work. I get my medications through mail order because I never wanted to give anyone any cause to suspect me of anything.

I loved my job and had planned on retiring from Wal-Mart one day. When I was called into the office yesterday I had no idea what was about to occur. Being in a management position, I assumed that it was about another employee. Obviously I was wrong.

This event has the potential to destroy my life. I am a pharmacist. My professional license may be placed on probation or suspended, I may be unable to work because of this, lose my home, etc. My reputation has already begun to suffer. What about my kids? My husband? Living in a small town, everyone will know about this soon enough. I already suffer from stress, anxiety and migraines. Now I have to deal with this as well.

I kept being asked to "just admit to what I had done". I refused because I have done nothing. I stole nothing. Again, the management that was present said that I had and that they saw it on the tape and "tapes don't lie".

Again, I asked to see the tape. I kept telling them that there had to be some mistake, some explanation. I was refused. The arresting police officer was allowed to see it and asked me to admit to it. Obviously something is on that tape to make him say that. I was told that a fellow employee saw me take this item and had reported it, thereby causing loss prevention to get involved. This is a new employee who has tried to cause trouble for others.

Even though I had not stolen anything, I would have gladly paid for whatever they accused me of stealing just to keep my job.

Again, this is a $4 medication we're talking about. I would have voluntarily quit if they had asked in order to keep my professional license in good standing. I was willing to do what it took to keep my job. I was panicking inside. I kept thinking "Are they right? Did I forget something? How did this happen?".

I tore through everything when I got home looking for this mysterious bottle. Yes, they actually had me doubting myself and my memory. They said "Maybe you don't remember because of all the medication you're on". Again, this was in front of 3 people, then 4 when the police officer arrived. Not only was I being accused of theft, but my medical condition, prescriptions, were being discussed in open without my permission.

I wanted to die inside. I kept shaking my head and telling them that there had to be some mistake.

I was arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted and humiliated without ever seeing what I had supposedly done. Yesterday I had a career and a future. Today I have nothing. Yes, I need an attorney. One that isn't afraid to go up against Wal-Mart. If anyone can help, please contact me at imin61071 (at) hotmail (dot) com

Thank you for reading this.

Wal-mart's Plans: 80% Part Time and 20% Full Time Staff, Wal-Mart Letting go 25% of Staff

2007-12-20T08:36:00.000-03:30

let me start off with I am a 4 year veteran of wal-mart, worked at 4 different stores in the district, not by choice. I have had a great record of employment in those 4 years. I am dedicated to my job, not the companies cause, for most of them are bogus. I was 4 months ago employed at the wal-mart in Ohio.

Bentonville decided to close Trootwood do to the economic features of the area, and the flop of the new Englewood super center store (1504). I feel the company had the right to do as they see fit in this situation, regarding lying to the public and the local city and its employees about why. In the closing all employees we given the chance to take lesser jobs at local stores. The employees that had time in were given a pay check for each year of service after 2 years of full time employment.

Most of us got screwed. I had a job, but it was 60 miles further away at the franklin store. I had a friend that worked at the huber Heights (1495) store and she got me in there. I thought I was still on the path for bettering my self up to Asst. management. After a few weeks, she was fired for working with a competitor. I then had a manager that did not know a thing other than to relay orders from the store manager.

After he got sent to third shift a month later I got ,what I thought, and old friend from my old store. Well he is a relayer of info not a manager in the since he is still new to the Wal-Mart way. I have a few contacts in higher places that can't keep there mouths shut.

I had just learned that Wal-Mart is letting go (in the stores) 25% in each store in the district. Now The store that I am at there was no seasonal (for christmas) help hired. As of today I know how they are going to do this. Today after senceless arguing with the Co Manger Kenny, I was wrote up today for supposedly what the store manager scanned in my department Saturday.

As my asst. manger prepared the write up He said "If I get wrote up so do you". I am now currently looking for a Job, do to, I now will never have a future for this company nor will I have a job after the first of the year, cause I know that I will be one of the 25% let go do to the volume of my Department.

I thought that when I read an email from an asistant about the future of Wal-mart it was crazy.

It said that wal-mart stores would like to be at 80% part time and 20% full time. As time has pasted I have seen this slowly starting to take place with department managers being forced to deal with more than one department, doubling the work load. They are also forcing the older employees to look else where for new jobs.

Here is a interesting fact: Wal-mart does not want any Employee to work for them over five years anymore if they are not going to move up. This is straight from the big boys mouth. So I guess my chances have just ended on this day for a future in the Wal-Mart Co.

Later I will write you more on there bogus green awareness ploy to the public.

I need an lawyer willing to take on walmart store # 2512 in Phoenix ,AZ where I was stuck with a used hypodermic needle (as in IV drug user) .

While shopping on 11/05/2007 I tried on some shorts and felt something rubbing on my leg from the pocket.When I reached into that pocket I was stuck in the hand..

The manger and his assistant were called over I was told that they usual find these ( used syringes) in the bathroom,not only that but they refused to call police saying that it would take hours for them to respond and even thought I was complaining of chest pain and shaking and sweating they offered no assistance at all and said I should get to the doctor ASAP...

I am a 52 year old married family man with no history of any drug use and now I am going the embarrassment of HIV and hep C testing,as well as vaccinations for Hep A and B.Worse yet is I have Bi Polar disorder which has gone totally out of wack after over 2 years of very good control with all the stress this is causing. Walmarts claims people said they had no responsibility even for the doctor bills.

Hello,
I was an employee of the Hallmark card company until 11/17/07. Hallmark which is a privately held corporation located in Kansas City, Mo. leases space in Wal-Mart stores to display and sell their greeting card products. Hallmark does not hire Wal-Mart employees to retail their product. We Hallmark employees are jobbers at the Wal-Mart stores.

Today I came in to work Saturday 11/17/07 after assessing the products I would need to have to stock the shelves, I proceeded to the storeroom to load a shopping cart and do the job as I had been instructed by my supervisor from Hallmark card company.

I was immediately stopped by a older woman and a younger man they said they were supervisors the woman a store manager the guy a security person from the warehouse dept.

I was told I could not use a shopping cart to move product to the sales floor. I tried to explain that the shipping cart they said I must use would not work since we have unboxed product and do not stock case loads of greeting cards at a time on shelves.

And I said I would do the job as I was taught until I am told by my boss differently.The security guy pointed at my Star of David and said " You People always push things" I took that as a discriminatory insult to my Jewish Race and Religion.

He then said you will do the job the Wal-Mart way or not at all. I said ok not at all he said " You are fired get out of the ware house this minute now!

I walked out off the job.

Can a employee of a jobber that leases space for their company actually be fired by the other company management?

Lets say you rent shelf space for your company from Wal-Mart and you stock it and hire your own employees that have no relation to Wal-Mart then one day Wal-Mart wants to change how you do your job and they start to bully your employees and then actually fires one of your employees. Can they do that?Can they ban your employee from access to the spaces were your employee works? And then discharge that employee.

That is what happened to me.

I urge all of you parents out there to tell your children that Santa had a heart attack this year and can not make it to your house. But MOMMY & DADDY love you and will get you a present that does not come from Wal-Mart. And if you are a Christian believer then think of my experience and that the Wal-Mart Corporate culture is one of contempt for Jews and remember Jesus was Jewish so they hate him too.

Please can there be a Attorney out there to take my case.

Hello

My name is Ayda Valdez

Just recently I had went into a Wal-Mart store to return a xbox360 that my husband had bought just the night before.. When he took the game cube home it would not work... So the next morning I went to return the item with the recite ..

after being at the return counter while the looked over the box.. then Wal-Mart assoc turned to me and said that I was not returning the unit that was bought the night before.. he said that the unit clearly looked older then 8hrs..

He went on to show me were the serial number is ,It is on a sticker he said that it clearly looks as if the sticker had been pilled and replaced ..I was in shock ..not only did I not know that the serial number was but that even it was a stinker.. Never owning another xbox.. I could not believe what I was be accused of...

I ask that he please pull a new unit and show me because the unit to me looked new and I could still not even tell that it was a sticker... the sales associate left to my belief he was going to pull a new box to show me.. after a bit a different woman walks up to me and says that I can not return the item.. I then asked to speak to a store manager...

after a bit the store manager comes up and starts to look at the unit... then the first assto comes back and he looks at the store manager with out saying anything the store manager looks at me and says sorry you can not return the unit...

I asked why he said that the unit is clearly older then what the recite says the serial number matches but they said I had swapped the unit.. straight out accused me I was so surprised... I asked if they can just check to see if maybe it had been return...The store manager refused... I asked if they can show me a new unit again..Store manager said no he did not have to.. I asked him well at this time what can I do.. I am stuck with this unit that I had just bought with you guys that does not work... He said let me explain to you what you did... He (the store manager) then pulled the sticker completely off my unit and said see this is the sticker and this is what you did...

I was so unset I asked Oh My God.. What are you telling me know what can I do... Then he put all my stuff with the unit back in the box and said you can leave my store.. And dont try to take it any were else I will notify all the Wal-Mart's in the surrounding area.. I am still blown away at what I have been accused of.. I then called x-box and explained what had happen.. and when telling them the store.. They tell me because the sticker was removed that it voids all warranty so they now also refuses to repair it with out a fee..

I fell that Wal-Mart just passed judgment and accused me of something that had never happened.. I believe that if someone who knows can see that the unit is NEW and someone clearly passed judgment....I want to see if I can take legal action... Please help

Wal-mart Manager Asks Employee if His Girlfriend is Getting Fat

2007-11-08T17:41:00.000-03:30

I work at store #1160 there is a manager on my shift named ? (name removed) .My gf who also works there and I have both ahd nothing but trouble out of this man. We arent the only ones.

The other day my GF was bent over zoning up some merchindise in her area when he approached her. He told her she needed to pick up the pace. Her area wasnt zoned yet and it was the end of the shift.

She told him they had her on aregister for 6 hours covering a call in.

He put his finger in her face and yelled at her.

Then today he tells me she is getting fat and asked if shes eating more or if she forgot the pill...I cannot belive the man had the guts to say such a thing.

Other females have complained he sexually harrasses them. He makes fun of employees to thier faces. Upper management just brushes it off if we talk to them. So much for an open door.

In December 2000, Kenneth J.

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-Mart #8, Wal-Mart is Suing Me

I have recently been convicted of petite theft for items I admittedly stole from wal-mart. My reasoning is unimportant, but I admit I was in the wrong. I went to criminal court and was fined 6 months probation, 30 hours of community service, I had to take a class and pay $305 dollars is fines and restitution.

Then 2 days ago I, I received a letter form a law firm representing wal-mart, stating that I had to pay them $475 in 10 days or I will be taken to trial. The Statute they quote is Section 772.11 of Florida Law. I researched this and found that it is a legitimate Statute, however, it states that they can sue for no more than 3 times the amount taken, I stole $70 worth of merchandise, times three is only $210.

If i didn't have the money to pay for $70 worth of items, how can I pay $475.

I need help and fast,

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-Mart #7, Working Off The Clock---Willful Violation of Law

In the seven years I worked for Walmart #1841 in Chesapeake, Virginia I have heard assistants, co’s and store manager tell people they couldn’t have a break or go to lunch, unless they finished certain things, if they didn’t get it done on time then it was just to bad for them.

It’s easy enough to fix the time adjustments in the system so Walmart won’t be fined for allowing late lunches and they do it all the time.

Associates work thru their lunch or past the state law guide line hours because they were asked to complete certain things, then management or personal will just go in the system and make it look like the lunch was taken or taken on time, which ever the case needs to be.......most cases have written time adjustment backup signed by you, to cover them also, but there are also plenty of adjustments that are made up by management or personal, just keyed in.

Truck unloaders were told they had to forfeit their break because they didn’t get a truck done fast enough. They were also told they couldn’t go to lunch until they got X amount of trucks unloaded.

Department Managers and associates have been told they couldn’t leave until they got everything done on a list that management handed them about an hour before it’s time to go home.Assistants have been told the same thing, yes I know they are on salary but that doesn’t mean they are to be used for 70 hours a week.

I have been told by my assistant that he is to protect people working off the clock (which is called will full violation) and he was told by a Co-Manager to do so.I can name several people who have been threatened for their DM status or job that they keep working after they punch out because they know the work has to be done or they won’t have a job.

Don’t give me the bull crap Walmart doesn’t allow it, they allow, in fact they encourage it and turn a blind eye to those who do....free hands for Walmart........no need to hire more help, we have them so scared for their job they are willing to do it for free.

They will let you do it, until they want to get rid of you, then they will use it against you, just like they allow breaking of other policies and laws, until it’s your turn to hit the road....then they turn it around and use it against you.

That’s the bottom line.

It is documented from 2005, yet nothing ever done about it, but coverup.

Any lawyers wanting to file this suit, please contact me.

Looking for a Lawyer to Sue Wal-Mart #6, "Very Crude and Unnecessary Comments About My Mother"

2007-10-08T15:38:00.000-02:30

Hello my name is Sarah Farmer, I feel I have a story for you. We live in Dixon, Illinois.

On July 3, 2007 my mother and I went to Wal-Mart to do a money transfer (like a western union) we were sending $550.00 to my brother in NJ. I was standing next to my mother at the counter while she was filling out the form for the transfer. After finishing the form my mother put 6 $100.00 bills on the counter. The total came to $585.34.

During the transaction the Sales clerk was helping 4 people while helping us. She kept picking up the money and then putting it down and then back on the counter in the interim the clerk had set the money down under the phone cord. Then handed the phone to the clerk next to her.

I then noticed that the money was about to fall off the counter so I reached over to stop it from falling off the counter. I then counted it to make sure it was all there. I was about to set the money back on the counter, but my mother took it out of my hand. The clerk handed her the change she then signed the receipt and then she placed the 6 $100.00 bills on the counter in front of the clerk and to my knowledge and my mothers the clerk had taken it and put it in the drawer.

My mother had another transaction. She needed a money order. She gave her another one hundred dollar bill. My mother was filling out the money order and the clerk looked at her and said " YOU NEED TO MOVE I NEED TO HELP OTHER CUSTOMERS!!" my mother who was not in the way looked up and said "Well excuse me, but what am I?" The clerk then proceeded to swipe all of my mothers papers over into a pile on the other end of the counter. My mother a little ticked off at how this Clerk was working picked up all her things put them in her purse and my mother and I left.

The next day my father had received a call from the Dixon police department. Wal-Mart had filed a complaint for theft. They were stating my mother had taken the money.

My father then called my mother at work and told her what was going on. She said that she didn't know what he was talking about. But would check her purse.

After checking the paperwork, she found the money mixed in with all the receipts. She told him to call the police and tell them she was on her way down. She then left work and came to get me. We both went down to the police department to return the money, but we were told that the police officer handling the case wasn't there, to come back tomorrow. We returned on July 5th and spoke to the officer.

The officer first brought me upstairs and read me my rights and told me I was being charged with a class 3 felony for theft of over 300 dollars. He then went down to get my mother. She then asked them why are we being arrested. We didn't do anything wrong. He said she took the money. My mother replied "I didn't know I had the money."

The police officer said he had the surveillance tape showing her putting the money in her purse. My mother denied this. After finishing all the paperwork he told us we were going over to talk to the judge and leave. That it looks like a mistake on the clerks part. But instead, he brought us to the Lee County Sheriffs Department. Where they continued to book us and put us in jail. We were incarcerated for over 8 hours. No food or water, nothing. We were strip searched and put in black and white striped suits.

The sheriffs department made very crude and unnecessary comments about my mother and I.

Like “Did I guess her bra size right??“ “Right on the dot! Replied the other officer. “WhooHoo!! WhooHoo!!” This comment was made in front of my mother while they were putting the striped suit on me.

After talking to my father around 4:00pm the police officer came out and told us that he had never seen this before that we were going to speak to the judge. This officer took us through the jail and put a belt around our waist and cuffed us. We were walked through a parade of rooms and then we were handed off to another Police officer. This officer then took us out the front door of the court house and down the street in front of god and everyone back to the county jail.

We were put back in the jail cell. After some time we then were released on our own recognizance. After all this, we then lost our jobs, our house. EVERYTHING including our dignity.

This went on for almost 3 months.

All because Wal-Mart had an incompetent clerk who doesn't know her job and we were the fall guys. Through previously working there, I know the procedure and protocol for dealing with transactions with large sums on money. The sales clerk did not follow any of that. They had the surveillance tape and told us that I picked up the money thumbed through it handed it to my mother and she thumbed through it and then put it in her purse. After about a month and a half we finally received a copy of the police report and the probable cause affidavit. These reports were filed by the arresting officer.

These reports were filled with lies. And no one has seen the tape showing this crime. The only one that had seen the tape were the Wal-Mart managers and the police officer.

2 months of waiting we finally saw the tape. We were the first to see it and it showed my mother placing the money back on the counter. Proving that the police officer had lied.

We went to court 3 times before the charges were dismissed on September 27, 2007. The State Attorney stated it was a mistake.

So far all we have heard is that if you go to Wal-Mart and the clerk makes a mistake you are responsible for it. Please, if there is any lawyer that is interested in helping us file a civil suit against Wal-Mart and all involved please contact me at MaskScarah (at) aol (dot) com . There is so much more to the story that we have left out to shorten it.

DON'T SHOP AT WALMART your responsible for their mistakes!

Wal-Mart Ripping off American Taxpayers

2007-10-08T14:03:00.000-02:30

Wal-Mart's failure to provide healthcare to their employees is costing American taxpayers over 1.5 billion dollars every year and leaves an estimated 46% of the children of Wal-Mart employees on publicly-funded healthcare programs.

You get cheap goods, but you pay in countless other ways.
