'WASHINGTON, Oct 04, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- On Wednesday at 10:00 AM national groups that advocate for women will join Walmart Associates to announce a partnership to call on Walmart to be a better employer for women. Walmart Associates, with representatives from the National Organization for Women (NOW), National Partnership for Women and Families, Family Values at Work will discuss how they plan to challenge Walmart to become a place of opportunity for women. Several other prominent national groups will also join in this partnership.

"Walmart Associates across the county are coming together through the Organization United for Respect at Walmart to improve work conditions and gain more respect on the job," said Jackie Goebel, a Walmart Associate from Kenosha, Wisconsin and a member of the Organization United for Respect at Walmart. "I'm excited that such strong groups are joining with us. This kind of support will help us hold Walmart accountable for the ways its policies affect women."'

Women are so mistreated. (Yawn.) I feel so sorry for them. (Yawn.)

Maybe if these groups hired new writers they could come up with some new material instead of rehashing the same things over and over again like a broken record.

women are victims because ..... $$$$$$ needed.

think i got it.

just saw on the news where biden (mr. v.a.w.a.) said that a cut in some gov.
police program $$$$ will result in more women being killed/raped.
stupid AND no shame. and don't forget, it was women that put odumbo1 & 2 in office.
yep, real bunch of deep thinkers there.

i predict: when the next gov. $$$ cuts come down, they will affect women only as a last resort.
its just the way things work (or don't work) in this country.
