Dear Editor-In Chief:

I am a sophomore at Early College High School

I am addressing the issue of employee abuse at Wal-Mart stores across the nation. Documentaries, news articles, and personal experiences show that Wal-Mart does in fact abuse their employees anywhere from forced overtime, without pay, to sexual assault.

            With enough evidence you would think someone would step up and take on the corporate giant, yet no action has taken place. The union struggles to get things going, only taking on little dispute cases instead of more important cases, such as sexual assault and things of that nature. Wal-Mart says they do it for the shoppers and to keep costs down, but at what cost is it okay to harm the very people that run your business, the very people in this community you and I both live in?

            Thank you for your time. I hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Mark Pierandozzi
