I work for sams club in GA,Georgia I am meat dept lead and I am told every day that Icant leave at my scheduled time. Hardly ever get my breaks and thursday I was threatened after a Year and half if I don’t step down I will be wrote up till I get fired.this happened Thursday around 130 when the GM took me to his office alone no witness and shut the door with a piece of paper over the window. I was threatened and a bit uncomfortable when he said he has always been fawned of me.

yep it sure was difficult working for these folks esspecially the ones that have to put their nose in everyones business and not tend to their own.

So I just recieved my settlement check rom he overtime issue. Funny thng is that one day I open my mail after depositing the whopping $175 check to find out that the account the check through Wal-Mart was written from ad been closed. Oh yeah now the check for $175 has cost me $207 because the check was no good. Oh hell….

I worked at Walmart and I was only there one day. They fired me the next day because I supposably lied on the application because I didn’t have my licence and that in 6 months I could re-apply, (of corse that was a lie). I went home and called bobby ore and he said I had to wait the 6 months. So I waited and tried to fill out the application and it said that I was not available for rehire. So I then called Jim McKay and the first time I called him he said that he couldn’t understand why I was fired cause I was a greeter in tle so he said the greeters in tle didn’t need licence. Now its been 2 and a half weeks since he called me and told me that the Walmart I worked at said I wasn’t available for rehire cause I faulsafied employment documents when I didn’t. The Walmart I had worked at said I didn’t need my licence to be a tle greeter so did Jim mckay and now he tells me I do. But he also said that he has to contact regional and its up to them to decide what the compensation will be and I can now not get a hold of Jim McKay and I am starting to belive that Walmart corp. is saying and telling me things just so I might forget about the whole thing.

well news update.. even tho i am still healing up from my knee cap injury i got a pending lawsuit against walmart via workmans comp in indiana coming up pretty soon and i got an atty too

I went homeless working for this company they dont appreciate nothing

from my knowledge as a past employee. nobody gets over time hours unless u are a FT employee. so trying to fight for back pay isnt worth it..most those who are hired on now are PT employees .. wish i could help you out more but i was injured on the job and got terminated recently while injured so i have my own court battles to deal with and loss of income included

Well i started at walmart in 2010 as a cashier.. worked my schedule.. was absent a few times.. had surgery in feb 2012 which i was on medical leave for that.. about 19 days.. came back to work .. did my job.. was working on a register and tripped on a loose cable underneath it .. thus result tripped and landed on my left knee ..the mgmnt argued with me over an ambulance after they helped me off of the floor.. i know i passed out for a few minutes they didnt care..they never called MEDCORP to report the accident, as they were supposed to i ended up going home myself and iced my knee cap.. woke up to it swollen .. clinic they sent me to .. didnt even realize i had a hairline fracture of the knee cap till i was back at the clinic 2 1/2 days later.. well now i got fired for taking days off on acct of the knee injury and the pain i was in … guess i am supposed to go to work in frigging pain while on meds that put me to sleep? ok so who wants to go against walmart for me.. i called the clinic to let them know i wasnt sure about making it to my appt to see the dr at the end of the month which i was scheduled off.. and also called a friend to let them know of this too .. the asst mgr who fired me asked if i wanted to sign something and i said HELL NO.. gave her my id badge and left.. one of the support mgrs said they didnt want anyone to know i was fired? well as of today i am sure my fellow associates know i was LET GO.. nice i was canned on acct of my knee injury.. great nice going walmart…. least some of the mgrs who trained me care enough to stay in touch.. but the mgmnt at my store sucks.. lets see u fall on your knee and fracture it and lets see you get lousey medical care.. and deal with the pain and have no pain meds.. lets see you walk around in my shoes and see you cry when the pain meds dont work.. then lets see mgmt fire you for the days you took off and lets see how you deal with paying rent and utilities etc.. i am waiting to see how you feel being in my shoes!!!!!!!

I WORKED AT WAL MART 3 DIFFERENT TIMES HARDLY EVER GOT BREAKS AND WAS TREATED LIKE A DOG JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES HARDLY ANYONE IS STILL THERE THAT USED TO BE NOT THAT I BLAME THEM ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT I WORKED WITH GOT SETTLEMENTS AND DIDNT EVEN WORK THERE AS LONG AS I DID

DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I NEVER RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT FROM WAL MART I HELPED OPEN THE ONE IN MAC ARTHUR WEST VIRGINIA HARDLY EVER GOT BREAKS

I would like to know, where to on, The Wal-Mart Vision Center Manager Overtime Suit. How do you know, if you’re Included on this? Is it all vision center managers, that worked before 2007? Is there a sight to go to, to view names or amounts?

I worked for wal-mart from Aug. 2008 through Jan. 2012 when I was fired. They told me there were to many customer complaints against me and they fired me. Everytime I was pulled in the office for the complaints, they told me they were called in complaints except i think 3 or 4 were at the store. Everytime I asked them what they said I did to the customer for them to complain, the management wouldn’t answer. They always said that they didn’t take the message so they don’t know the cercumstances. Well if I am being yelled at for something like this I think I should know what I am doing. One time I was pulled in the office, I was disrespected my management. I think if they expect us to respect them I think employees should get the same respect. They told me that retail was not for me and that I should just look for another job. Also they said that I should be greatful that I had a job. Then the more I was thinking about it. Why was it such a big secret not to tell me exactly what the customer said I done to them to lodge the complaint in the first place. How do I know if those complaints were even me. There was another cashier named Lisa also. Also there were several times where I worked over 40 hrs. in a work week and many people said that wal-mart is suppose to pay time and a half. Don’t know if that is right or not. If so I would like to get the money they owe me for the hours I worked over 40 hrs. I wish I knew. Several times I was called on my days off to come in and work, other times if I was close to going over 40 hours I was told to take 1 1/2 hr. lunches to cancel out the time before I reached over the 40 hr. mark. Several times I didn’t get my 15 min. breaks because they forgot to tell us to go on break. We had to be told by management when to go on break before we went to break. They got busy half the time and forgot about us. then they told us to to take a longer lunch to make up for the 15 min. break. I think they break the rules to much and we can’t do anything about it because they are management and who will listen to us the employees. NOONE!!! I also find that management sticks up for each other but noone is there to stick up for the employees. I am kind of glad not to be working for Wal-mart. It was the worst place I have every worked at in my whole working career. When you needed time off they were not willing to give you the time you needed. I missed pretty much the whole season of my daughters field hockey, because the couldn’t give me off because we were short handed so was denied the time off. Which I don’t think was fair at all. Also I like when I told them I can only work certain hours because of my husbands work schedule and my 2 kids, they said to me you work our hours or you can look for another job. I really don’t think management should talk like that to their employees. Everyone tells us wal-mart helps their employees, I just didn’t see it. Well thank you for listening to my ranting. Just wanted to know if I am in the wrong or does someone thinks I am right. I would like to know how to be added to possibly get back pay they owe me. I haven’t received anything in the mail about the wages lawsuit. My friend called me and told me about it.

I was a overnight stocker, worked in a few different store in southern Missouri, treatment was all the same, drove you like cattle had to wait on the break calls, told we couldn’t leave until everyone department was done meaning we had to go help food department finish, not getting out until 8 or later, forced to sitting in break room to take off hours at times it was up to 2 hrs at the end of a pay period.. Could not come in later or get off early. I shared a ride with another worker who started an hour earlier, I asked many times to start early if I was there, but when I asked can I get off early was told no so that was my answer, so I waited until it was time to start, knowing it would be late getting out. I called home office and asked if I had to stay as the managers were telling me and was told no once my shift was over i could leave, so I passed that on to the next co-worker, really did not matter we were locked in and could not leave even off the clock. I was considered a WAVE Marker and watch as a union starter, which most all my co-worker acted like cattle and wouldn’t listen when I told them home office said we only had to work our shift. Honestly that is what is wrong with Wal-mart they make to do that stupid cheer just to see how far they can make a person jump, then take complete control on your time on and off the clock while locked in, If there was a union and if the people WOULD stand against these treatments then they would be forced to comply with the labor laws and not brain wash the employees that they pay the best in town and have your best interest at heart. I did my job and did it well but I seen other who just collected a pay check and was told by my store manger when I was over heard telling one of these lazy ones to get the Fxxx away from me, I work for my pay check while he walked around carrying the same box for the last 20 minutes just collecting his. The manager had the nerve to tell me that there are workers and there are not workers and I need to learn to live with that and was told I was not a team player. I was sick of all the crap and being patted on the back and told we were the back bone to the company and having our store’s 300 thousand dollar days rub in our faces while making a few cents more than minimum wage, having to work almost 4 hrs to buy a package of steaks.. During one of these fake pat’s I asked for our crew to get a raise, and was accused of asking only for myself in front of every one. I was called in the office many times because I stood up for my co workers and reminded often that a union was not needed in Wal-mart because they looked out for their employees with out my help.. Never asked to sign anything so there were no records of these meetings. They keep the crews small so they can control them for if they were big a union would be possible. But if it were to spread through out all of wal-mart they wouldn’t stand a chance of stopping it. I would say a UNION is needed at Wal-Mart and start making them jump through the hoops they have forced the employee’s to do for many years. If they would hire me back I would make that my goal and break Wal-mart of it’s abuse. I pray that someone who can help, even a few can understand that this is the only way, will take this seed and help it grow and make wal-mart a great place to work. You have the power, you just need to stand together, these law suits are nothing just a small drop in the money they bring in and the little they pay employees other than management. Law suits won’t stop the abuse, Wal-mart just pay the court orders and find ways to get around it because there is no one who can stop them as a individual and thinking you can just quit and boycotting doesn’t help unless it is a mass of people. I haven’t received my check on this suit, got my letter telling me I was part of it a few years ago, but I would gladly sign it over to a union rep in order to bring wal-mart to a new understanding. If every one from this one law suit did, it would be one the biggest and strongest Union in the world funded by Wal-mart it’s self. Better than a slap in the face. Think about it… It is the only way people, United you’ll stand and divided you will always remain victims.

Marsha, I’m just outside of St Louis. I’ve heard from a few others at work that they have received check(s) also. Some, like me got one check with both parts in it. Others got two checks, one for the “wages” and one for the left over money. Not sure what caused the difference, but the amounts were the same.

John,would you mind saying what part of Illinois that you are in? I am glad to hear that someone from Illinois has received compensation no matter what the amount. I will take one dollar . Thank You

For some reason, Federal taxes were not withheld. That would be about $3.10 that I will owe Uncle Sam next year at this time.

ILLINOIS – Got my check today. $35.43 “wages” and therefore taxable ($1.49 SS, $.51 Medicare, & $1.77 IL State) + $19.08 Non-wage (According to the letter, money leftover in settlement fund after all claims were paid.) and not taxable. Check Total $50.74.

I’m in Illinois and fill out the forms years ago, called once and they said it was being appealed have’nt heard another word and still no check………….does anyone have any info? Also a phone m number i’d like to call and see what excuse it is now! Thx

Does anyone have any information on the checks for Illinois?

to ad to the above. this is happening in the mayfield Ky walmart. They also have associates use heavy machinery without being licensed. and will not license them even upon repeated request.

Walmart managers constantly interrupting breaks and laugh in your face when you tell them your restarting your break. Can a Walmart Manager OR a supervisor make you wait past your scheduled lunch break until up to 10 to 15 minutes till you would get a meal violation? example. lunch break schedule 10pm to 11pm. they would say your not allowed to go till 10:30 to 10:45pm having you to work while on lunch without any time adjustments made.

These things take time. I just got a check for a class action lawsuit involving foriegn currancy fees the credit card companies were illegally charging. That suit was originally filed in 2006. Be patient.

I am also wondering about the checks for Illinois. It has been quite a long time. I can not find any numbers to call or any other information on the status. If any one has any information on the checks for Illinois I would be grateful to get that info. Thanks

i wonder when Illinois Walmarts will conpensate their employees that they took advantage of. It has been a long time. i worked their for 7 years and feel they didn’t care about their employees at all.

i was wondering how the outcome for walmarts appeal in illinois did they win or not i havent heard if they lost or not .if anyone knows please post it ty and God bless .

i worked for walmart trust me that company are something else. ask anyone they will tell you the storybook about walmart. not just one location all locations. i am now in south carolina someone please let me know when the checks will be issue out.how long will walmart make us wait for what supposed to be our check when we first work the hours.how can a company do this to us.how?walmart pay me my money that you have taken away frome me.

I work for walmart and sent the paper work back and haven’t heard a thing. I would like to know whats going on. Out of 5 day work week i bet i get 2or 3 breaks a week. Don’t ask a member of management to come help you because they don’t know there ass from a hole in the ground. WALMART needs to know that slavery was done away with many years ago.

Does anyone know when the checks for Illinois will be sent out? Thank-You

I was also told doesn’t matter how long i was with the company it doen’t mean anything.I have worked for walmart from dec/16/1997 to present and I was worked through breaks. worked off the clock. worked in the dark with flashlights. and lock in the store. didnt get paid for all my overtime. the open door policy is crap it is not family oreanted they could care less if you or your child are sick.I was told if didnt come to work when my son was sick. I would not have job when i came back to

I worked at wal-mart 4years and 9 months and i feel like i have been verbale,physical, and mentally abuse by walmart management. put in postions that i felt that was very unfair . Driving to the point of stress and depression until i could no longer control my actions or thoughts. while all the while trying to maintain my job. I was ordered to work late hours then told to sit off clock to lose overtime hours. One manager would tell me to do one thing anther manager would tell me to do another and i was written up because it was impossible to do both. One of the workers under me was fire because he could no stay alnight doing a job that he was not required to do, also he was suppose to get off hours ago, and he had to be rehired because of wrongful termination. I have plenty other things that have happend and plenty witness we already had some employee to receave money back from a suite. Things has gotten worser. don’t get me wrong when i first started a Wal-mart it was one of the best places i ever worked i felt like this was where i belonged and i was excellent at any position in the store; couldn’t move up because i had a family member in just about every department, but when our new store manger came i don’t know what happen. i started gettig wrote up for crazy stuff, always did more than exspected but that just wasn’t enough any more.

I worked at walmart for 41/2 years and I did not get alot of the breaks I was supposed to have. I didn’t receive any info about the lawsuit and I definitely didn’t receive a check!!! How do I get what is owed to me?

I just got termed from walmart after working there for three years. due to my daughter being sick and they been trying to get rid of me every since this law suit started they have been cutting hours and have been treating employees horrible. I was wondering if i dont work for walmart anymore do i still have a chance to have any part of the lawsuit

Is it too late to join this class action suit?

How do u know if u in this class act settlement cus I work at walmart in 2005 in new orleans la uptown an when will checks be mailed out an is that far all states

I was employed by Walmart 2000-2009,does anybody know who was handling the class action lawsuit against Walmart?There was a card that was sent in the mail to be filled out, and sent back to the people that where handling this matter.I filled out the card a week later,and sent it back.I have not received a check.I called Bentonville,Ak and talked to a human resource person who was totally RUDE he was unwilling to help me.If anybody could help me I would sure appreciate it…Michael

I have worked for Walmart for 20 plus years and this lawsuit didn’t phase them. I still do not get breaks and get locked out from my register after six hrs because they have no one to re-leave me for lunch. I work in a service area.

I worked for Wal-mart from 11/2007-08-2010. I started working in the grocery backroom doing inventory and stocking. I got moved over to general mechandise side unloading trucks. I did this because I was asked by the asst. manager. I was told I would not have to get on the truck just to pull the things of the line and put them on a pallet. Well we got a gun ho younger woman working in the back room and now we all had to start unloading the truck. We were given and hour to and hour in a half to unload. Well I got hurt and written up for unsafe working when I was helping a guy move futons. I man who started after I did was making $.50 an hr more because he supposedly had more experience than I did. He worked construction before starting. I worked retail for several years. How is that more experience? I quit because of the injury and the threat of a write up. According to the handbook they would have fired me. I got a d-day, anyone working for walmart knows what that is. Because I left work to rush to the hospital because a family member had a stroke and was in a coma not knowing if they would live or not. I would like to know how to get in on this law suit. I have not been able to find a job since I quit.

I never received anything for the interupted breaks and meal times. can we still submit? and where do we get paperwork from. I have worked for Sams Club and walmart for 11 years.

Does anyone have a number to contact the lawyers to this lawsuit cuz i still haven’t got my check yet and everyone that used to work there is getting there’s. Any News at all would be great thanks.
