Complaint Review: WalMart - Fort Myers Florida

First of all, Florida is an "at will" employment state. This means either party can terminate the employment arrangement at any time with or without cause, and they don't legally even have to give you a reason, or anything in writing. They can legally just say "you don't work here anymore", and escort you off the property. This is why every worker needs a UNION. This is why workers have to grow a backbone and organize. Now, for the unemployment claim being denied. WalMart denies every unemployment claim filed, it is a matter of policy to keep costs down. Most do not appeal, and WalMart saves money. Filing for unemployment from WalMart wages is a wast of time anyway. 50% of your highest quarter avaerage. With the low pay you were getting at Walmart this might be $150 a week! What are you going to do with that? Your only choice here is to file a defamation of character lawsuit against them, but this takes a great deal of money to do. There are various anti-Walmart websites I suggest you go to and post your case. Also create as many blogs as you can to get input from others that have suffered the same injustice. You can also seek out and go after the person who made the complaint. You will have to send this request by certified mail/rrr and keep a copy for your records. Send it to the manager and to the corporate office, and also file a complaint with the EEOC. Walmart has time and money on their side, and they know you most likely have neither. That is what they count on, and that is why they get away with the labor violations they get away with. Walmart is the single largest labor violator in the United States, and this is by percentages of complaints vs number of employees.

In your OP you stated "I was told I had said,"I'd like to eat that."I worked as a MEAT SALES ASSOCIATE-surrounded by MILLIONS of food products that many people would, "Like to eat." Also the meat dept. requires the use of a coat with NO nametag. So if this incident, which I personally have no memory of, even HAD occured, it could have easily been directed towards any food item." Exactly what "office of appeals" are you speaking of?? Do you mean that you will be able to collect unemployment beneifits? If so, that's still a long way from where you're at to the lawsuit that you insinuate that you can win for your dismissal. But please, keep us informed of the progress.

What proof do you have that Walmart is to blame for the lack of response you have experienced when applying for other jobs??? Maybe you just don't fulfill the requirements of the job or the companies don't respond unless they want to interview you???

Mabye, all the victims of walmart should hold the protest infront of walmart these are the many reason why I would not work in wal-mart, wal-mart already has a bad name but it's there own fault.

I LOVE the idea of a protest. Make sure you hold it on the PUBLIC SIDEWALK so Walmart can't do anything about it!!

The state of florida office of appeals has issued a favorable decision in my favor. Wal-mart failed to provide any proof of "miscounduct" on my behalf and walmarts tax account will be charged accordingly. This is just a small step towards justice.
