Add Gender Identity/Expression to Wal-Mart Policy

From the Wall Street Journal.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they'll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies -- including Wal-Mart.

In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.

Walmart drives local business and culture out of town. They support slave labor all around the world to give you low prices. I rather pay more knowing someone is making a fair wage.

Why do you think she didn't get union support?  BTW it was from 86-92, so its not recent.

Walmart do support GLBT. They now have GLBT policy.
I work at Walmart.  Walmart pay me more than $10 a hour. 
I do know some FTM and MTFs who work at Walmart.

I knew several openly gay/lesbian people at my old store. Including 1 M2F that worked on my shift. When I quit just before halloween I was making $11.45/hr for 3rd shift. I've been on medical leave for depression/anxiety and suicide attempt for awhile now and I quit rather than going back to that hell hole.

I have arthritis and standing for long periods is painful. I only shop at Target because they never let a check-out lane get longer than 3 or 4 people before opening another. I have placed TG clients in jobs at Target. They fund TG programs in Minneapolis.
