Hello everyone here is a little piece from the middle of my essay, thanks in advance for your thoughts. Ellen
Wal-Mart should hire enough employees to cover the daily tasks so that one employee isn’t overextended and underpaid. Wal-Mart associates themselves describe the working conditions for Karen Olsson in “Up Against Wal-Mart”. Liberty Morales Serna a former associate states, “They would know you’ve clocked out already, and they’d say ‘Do me a favor. I don’t have anyone coming in – could you stay here?’ It would be like four or five hours. They were understaffed, and they expected you to work these hours”. (349) This personal favor turns into a threat. They are not being paid for this time which is illegal.

  1. Good start - and good working around the quote within a quote we talked about today in class. I look forward to a further development of these ideas.
