=Focus Question: How can we stop Wal-Mart from refusing to give worker rights?=

Persuasive Essay
Do you know or ever think about the horrible treatments that go on secretly behind the Walmart walls? Well just ask a worker from there and see if you want to shop there again. Walmart breaks labor laws to stop U.S. workers from organizing potential union operations, so they are spying on the workers so that they do not form a union against them because Walmart knows that they are not treating the workers correctly and they are not giving them any workers rights. Walmart is putting their workers through labor and barely paying them. They don't even give them rights as they deserve. Walmart is afraid and they are willing to do just about whatever it takes to keep their placement. Although, they still won't treat their workers fairly, that is the only thing that they will not do. They are taking a stand. I am guessing that another reason that they are doing this is to show that they are the boss, but does it really take breaking the law? I think that Walmart hasn't really thought this through, they need to start treating their workers correctly with fair pay as the law states. It's either that or they lose their company. I think that we do have a chance to change the thoughts of most of the consumer's. It's time for the workers to take a stand, there's no time to be afraid. We could resolve this problem by going and reporting the Walmart companies. We need to go straight to the law.

Paragraph 2 There is an enormous amount of over abusive labor that has been going on in Walmart. Walmart has to be stopped. they are making their workers go through a lot of labor for a little amount of workers pay. Walmart is also taking away the workers rights when they shouldn't be. After their thought to be successful protest, Walmart was put a fine to have to pay $78.5 million for what they were doing to the workers, but Wal-Mart refused to pay and they declined. They are still to powerful for the people and apparently for the law also. I'm thinking that if we try to accumulate a higher amount of people to go and complain to the law and go to the court to fight against Wal-Mart, then we could finally get our way. Although, this time we need more fighters to over throw them, so that they won't know what hit them. Wal-Mart has to have a weak spot and we need to find it. If Pennsylvania almost did it, why can't we. They are treating the workers like their slaves, and they know that the workers have a chance to over though them, so they alway's keep them on surveillance so that the workers don't form a union against them.My solution to this is to go and report the Walmart companies. If we accumulate more and more people to go with the workers and protest to the law, we could finally stop the labor in the Walmart companies and get the worker rights back to were it should be. You see, in Pennsylvania the workers and other people went to the law to and went to state their problem that has been put in front of them against Walmart. This solution could be made possible by having as many people as we can get to vote against anti-union propaganda and getting as many people to help us out to fight Walmart with the law. This could work because it probably would of had worked for Pennsylvania, but they probably just need some more people to go to the law along with them. So, if we get more people this time, them we could actually accomplish this goal. Pennsylvania against Walmart Photo Credit: flickr.com Paragraph 3 A problem that needs a solution. That is what we have and we shouldn't have it. We need to find a solution to the problem that Walmart is making their workers go through so much labor. Walmart gives their workers no rights, they don't even give them the pay that they deserve, and they are braking the law. A way to fix this problem is by giving a demand to the law and going up to the court house. We as the people and consumers who now realize what goes on after their gone should take a stand, and realize that Walmart isn't the only powerful substance. We can make them pay for all of the horrible labor that hey have made their workers go through. Michael Donovan, a lawyer want's to add an additional charge, 62 million dollars to Wal-Marts fine because he is upset that Wal-Mart has broken promises and they are just lying about treating their workers correctly, but the workers know how to speak out too. Although, Walmart still refused to pay. Walmart has to stop, they can't just decline their fine's. We need to go straight to the law. Walmart employers can not fire the workers if the law demands that they can not. So, the workers need to get a lot of people on their side so that they can all go to the law, but they need to do it fast!

Paragraph 4 We can make a difference and Stop Walmart from breaking the labor laws. Wal-Mart Stores are the nation's largest retailer, and they have finally agreed to pay $135,540 to settle federal charges because it violated child labor laws in Connecticut, Arkansas and New Hampshire. They were making children, and teenagers work and go through labor as well as the workers and they got sued. Although, the good thing is that they finally agreed to pay their fine. You see, if that plan successfully worked for all of Connecticut, Arkansas, and New Hampshire, why wouldn't it work for us? We can achieve this goal. The consumers can help the workers out by boycotting an to stop shopping at Walmart. Walmart can not do anything to the consumers. The consumers can make Walmart lose their whole entire business by making them lose their money and the only way that Walmart can have the boycott stop is by bringing back the worker rights and to stop the labor. There is other place's to shop besides Walmart. Target is a place to go because it provides everything that Walmart provides and much more. Plus it also provides more quality. Walmart is an over abusive store and it should not be receiving a large amount of consumers to bring their companies to th e top. I bet that if the Walmart consumers new about what Walmart does to the workers, then they would not even rethink about shopping there ever again.

We could stop the labor and bring the worker rights. For as the workers, they need to accumulate as many consumers to be on their side so that the consumers can boycott and stop shopping at Walmart. Other people need to go and proclaim to the law so that the Walmart companies can stop the labor and bring on the worker rights. So, if Walmart realizes that they are losing more and more money, then they will have to stop all of their wrong doings once and for all. It can only work with your help and with the help of many other people.
