Yeah. This a real victory alright. A victory for Walmart. Not for the people. Not for California, much less San Diego.
WAL-MART Drives Down Retail Wages $4.7 BILLION Every Year. Since the completion of our film, the study has been finalized and published, and the published findings produced a different number for the annual loss in retail earnings than the preliminary figure we used in the film. The published study ultimately found that Wal-Mart actually reduced the take-home pay of retail workers by $4.7 BILLION dollars annually. Unfortunately for the retail workers this statistic concerns, Wal-Mart's effect on retail wages turns out to be worse than we had anticipated.
WAL-MART SUBSIDY NATIONWIDE: $1.008 BILLION
WAL-MART Imported $18 BILLION from CHINA in 2004
The WALTON FAMILY Made $3.2 MILLION in Political Contributions in 2004
The WALTON FAMILY received a federal tax cut of: $91,500.00 per HOUR in the 2004 tax year
More detailed info: http://www.walmartmovie.com/facts.php $86 MILLION a Year to California Taxpayers In 2004, a study released the UC Berkeley Labor Center found that "reliance by Wal-Mart workers on public assistance programs in California comes at a cost to taxpayers of an estimated $86 million annually; this is comprised of $32 million in health related expenses and $54 million in other assistance."
It would have been nice if there were more discussion about the effects of certain foods on migraines and natural remedies, rather than just telling people to go to the doctor for medication.
Unfortunately since back to the ballpark days, the City has been underfunding the pension. My understanding is some employees forfeited cost of living wage increases back in the day and negotiated CONTRACTS with the City that in lieu of COL raises, they City would put more money in the pension. The City FAILED. The employees should not be penalized.
