A Wal-Mart employee got injured in a car accident. She had full coverage from her medical insurance from Wal-Mart. She is bedridden and her family got a settlement from the accident around $60,000. This was to take care of her in a good fashion with in home care around her family and kids. In all paperwork for Wall-Mart insurance and benefits there is a section that states any money rewarded to an employee may be recouped if medical or other assistance is paid. Wal-Mart and their insurance group (that wall-mart owns not uses) sued to recoup the $60,000 settlement for the disabled lady. She now lives in a home away from her husband & children plus in home care is so much better. This is evil.
Yes she did sign the document but if you don't 1. you lose your job or 2. you don't get benefits. What a deal! Especially when there is a high unemployment rate.
Wal-Mart is not the only big company that started doing this.
I guess Wal-Mart is the DEVIL and we fuel it's fire. I still go there on occasion it's almost unavoidable for me.
Oh I also asked a guy what he makes. He said ge started at $8 and makes $9.75 now in 2008. I was offered a job there in 1996 starting pay $12 to $14 dollars. WTF is going on?
Everyone if you ever sign papers don't just scan them please read them. Then unfortunately some of us will realize we half to sign them if we want to pay rent. Sell your rights/soul or live in poverty maybe both.(yea great) I understand it's not like this for everyone but it is for a lot of people. Be thankful if your not one and help the people who are.
An Im realizing there are a lot of people out there who only care about themselves
