Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart, one of the world's biggest and most loved stores. Every one thinks that it's one of the greatest stores and they do lots of good for every one. That's not what they are at all. Wal-Mart is a bad thing because they violate labor laws, lowers prices until others can't compete, and prevents unions among workers.

Wal-Mart is in violation of many labor laws. Businesses are supposed to pay workers for their over time. Wal-Mart doesn't think that they have to do that. They only do this so that they can lower their prices.

They lower their prices on goods till they are barely making a profit off just one item. By them doing this they are forcing smaller businesses in communities to go out of business. Smaller businesses can't compete when they have only a couple of stores to try and make a profit. With Wal-Mart being a very large business they can lower their prices as low as they want and can make a profit from all the other stores that they have sold from.

Wal-Mart prevents unions from being formed among workers. That isn't right if you ask me. Them not allowing unions from being formed is a violation of the Taft-Hartley Labor Relations Act. This act gave workers the right to form unions and this right has been striped away to the workers at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart isn't that great of a place after all. They violate many laws and they close the doors of little businesses. Violating labor laws, lowering prices until businesses can't compete, and preventing unions to form are just a start of reasons why they're a bad thing to communities. If you shop at Wal-Mart I hope that you realize that you're supporting a business that is soon to have a monopoly among its competitors.
