Their “points” system is their method of keeping attendance, and 90%+ they don’t accept doctors notes, even if it was something beyond your control. I’ve heard Home Depot is similar with its policies?This is honestly such a sack shit, someone should take Wal-Mart to court for how fucking unreasonable this is, even for a totally able person. Make an example out of them and make sure other department stores follow with adjustments to their attendance policy!You need better workers protection laws. Yeah, portraying this as an issue with walmart is a problem, because the issue is your total lack of legal workers rights. You can’t tackle each company who will do this individually. It needs to be illegal.“Walmart has been criticized for its policies against labor unions. Critics blame workers’ reluctance to join the labor union on Walmart anti-union tactics such as managerial surveillance and pre-emptive closures of stores or departments who choose to unionize.“Here is how Conservatives justify it: “ It it is simply unrealistic to expect that a firm that is ostensibly trying to maximize profits, although perhaps imperfectly, will take someone who can bring in five or seven dollars an hour in revenue and pay them two to three times that amount of money. It will be losing five or ten dollars an hour on every hour that person is working. That is just unrealistic to expect a firm to do in a market economy. So I guess it isn’t their business model, it is the workers fault.http://www.aei.org/publication/no-government-isnt-subsidizing-wal-mart/BTW, also mentioned is “The starting salary for an employee at Walmart is below the poverty line. Now, the American government subsidizes Walmart to the tune of $7.8 billion a year by issuing food stamps to over one in ten of its workers.” with 303 M people in US, that means every man, woman, and child in the US GIVES Walmart $25.74 every year each, just so they can pay out $16 B to their stockholders. (Heirs hold 51% of stock). -- source link
