When Sam Walton died in 1992 and his kids took over the business, they became union busters and slave drivers. He would die of shame if he wasn't already dead. They've remained the richest family in the U.S. for several consecutive years, with a net worth of over $440 billion. If it wasn't ill-gotten gains, I would say good for them. But the company started doing things like locking stores and warehouses at night "for security", and not letting people out until all the work was done, even though they weren't being paid for the last 2 or 3 hours. When you get paid by the hour, and not a salary, you're supposed to be paid for all the hours you work. And they were refusing people bathroom breaks and lunch breaks too. I'm sure they didn't do this to every single person at every single location, but they stole billions of dollars from their workers, by making them work for free. Walmart revenue was $680.99 billion in 2025, and Sam's Club had $90.2 billion in sales. Their family is making $771,190,000,000 per year, more than the Gross Domestic Product of about 170 different countries! There are only 21 or 22 countries in the whole world that make more money than the Walton family. They can afford to pay their workers what they owe them, but it's obviously cheaper to hire lawyers to fight one multi-million dollar lawsuit after another. F**k Walmart!
