This is Wal-Mart auditing Wal-Mart.

Sam Walton established a mantra: the store manager must every year increase sales and reduce labor costs. But that is an oxymoron--they're lowering the prices on the backs of the people who work for them. That is why I spent four months of my life at 71 years old making the point to corporate America that we are not in industrial England anymore. We're in the 21st century and these are good workplace rules, and you've got to obey them.

I will prove the reason they did this was for the God Almighty dollar.

It sets a precedent, that Wal-Mart will not be permitted to violate the laws of California the way they did here, and the jury found that they had intentionally, with malice and oppression and fraud, violated the laws of the state of California.

Some of the braver ones did ask, and I'm going to prove Wal-Mart ignored their pleas to hire more help.

I worked my way through art school as an auto mechanic, doing various stuff including sanding bodywork and using Bondo filler.
